what you'll need:

» pasta » olive oil » garlic » red onion » cream » uni (sea urchin) » canned tomato » anchovy fillet » white wine » unsalted butter » black pepper »  parsley

Make garlic infused oil

Add olive oil and sliced garlic to a cold pan. Heat on low until the garlic is golden and fragrant. (Start boiling water for the pasta.)

1

Fry onion and anchovy

Remove the garlic and add the red onion and anchovy. Fry until the onions have softened.

2

Cook pasta

Once the pot of water is boiling, add salt and mix. Then add the pasta and boil until al dente. (1-2 minutes less than the packaging states.)

3

Add tomatoes and white wine

Add the crushed tomatoes and white wine to the frying pan and mix well.

4

Add the cream

Pour the cream into the pan and heat through until almost boiling.

5

Add uni

Add the uni, break it up and mix it into the sauce. Save a small amount to garnish the top at the end. Add a pinch of salt and mix.

6

Simmer

Continue to simmer until the pasta is cooked. If it becomes too thick, add a small amount of pasta water to thin it out.

7

Add pasta

Turn off the heat and add the pasta and butter.

8

Mix well

Mix until the pasta is fully coated and the butter has melted into the sauce.

9

Serve

Dish up and top with freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
