Uni pasta might sound fancy but is easy to make at home and ready in minutes. A thin pasta such as angel hair or thin spaghetti is ideal for the creamy uni butter sauce. The results are addictive!

Ingredients

130 grams fresh West Coast uni roe, divided
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 ounces thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta
1 Tablespoon chives, minced
1-2 Tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
1-2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

Pulse ½ of the uni and the stick of softened butter in a blender and puree until smooth.
Cook pasta according to instructions.
In a large serving bowl, toss the cooked noodles with the uni butter, chives, cheese, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Season to taste. Remember that the uni is salty so go easy on the salt.
Place remaining uni on top of pasta and serve immediately.
