Ingredients

  • 1(16 ounce) packagespaghetti
  • ¼cupextra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
  • 2clovesgarlic, minced
  • 1red chile pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 ounces grated Sardinian mullet bottarga, divided
  • 4tablespoonschopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
  • 1smalllemon, zested

  • Directions

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

    Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

    Add garlic to the oil and cook until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chile pepper and stir together, reducing the temperature to medium-low. Continue stirring. The garlic should never become dark brown or crispy. If this has happened, the garlic is burnt and no longer appropriate for consumption.

    Drain the pasta, reserving at least 1 cup pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the oil mixture, still on medium-low heat. Stir or toss until all the spaghetti is well coated. Add 3/4 of the bottarga and stir to mix with the spaghetti, adding the reserved pasta water to hydrate as needed. There should be a little "sauce" when serving but not soupy.

    Divide onto 4 plates and sprinkle with chopped parsley and lemon zest; squeeze lemon juice over and sprinkle remaining bottarga on top right before serving.
