Description

If you want to make something simply divine, then this pasta dish is for you. The emphasis here is on the words simply and divine.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 bundles of fresh squid ink tagliatelle (if you can’t find this, regular is fine)
  • 1 tray of fresh sea urchin
  • 1/2 to 1 cup of seafood stock
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • Minced chives
  • Chopped parsley
  • 1/2 of a fresh lemon

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to boil over high heat.
  2. Mince the chives and chop the parsley. Set aside.
  3. Have a pan large enough to hold the pasta and heat up the olive oil in it over medium heat.
  4. Add the cloves of garlic. Reduce the heat and brown on all sides so that the flavor infuses into the oil.
  5. When the water boils, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and a drizzle of olive oil and cook the pasta for 3 minutes. When the pasta is cooked through but still firm, drain. Do not run cold water over it.
  6. Gently add the sea urchin to the pan and slowly pour the seafood stock over it. Mix around the pan with a wooden spoon to make sure it’s thoroughly cooked. Break up the sea urchin into bits as you stir.
  7. Add the pasta and toss it in the sauce with a pair of kitchen tongs. The sauce should start to thicken a bit from the starch in the pasta. Add more stock and olive oil if the mixture is dry.
  8. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust accordingly.
  9. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
  10. Sprinkle the parsley and chives on top.

    • Hi James, I was able to find wild sea urchin from Santa Barbara at a store here called Eataly. It was $22 for one tray. I’m not sure where you live, but I believe you can Google sea urchin from Santa Barbara and have it shipped to you as well.
