A delicious Uni Carbonara Pasta recipe that combines the rich flavors of sea urchin with traditional carbonara ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g spaghetti
  • 100g uni (sea urchin), fresh
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 100g pecorino Romano cheese, grated
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, grated pecorino Romano cheese, and a generous amount of black pepper. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the butter and garlic mixture. Remove from heat.
  5. Quickly add the egg yolk and cheese mixture to the pasta, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh uni, allowing it to warm through without cooking it. The heat from the pasta will help to melt the uni, creating a luscious sauce.
  7. Adjust seasoning with salt and additional black pepper as needed.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and extra pecorino cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • This dish serves 4 people.
  • Ensure the uni is fresh for the best flavor.
