Ingredients
8 ounces Spaghetti1 1⁄2 tablespoon Kosher Salt (plus 1/4 teaspoon)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 whole Shallot (minced)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1⁄4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
2 tablespoons White Wine
1⁄4 cup Heavy Cream
3 ounces Uni (reserve 6 pieces for garnish)
1⁄8 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Directions
- Start boiling 4 quarts of water in a large pot. Gather all the ingredients. Once the water is boiling, add 1½ tablespoon salt to the cooking water then add spaghetti.
- Stir to make sure the noodles don‘t stick to each other. Cook for 4 minutes then turn off the heat.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Once it‘s warm, add olive oil and evenly coat the pan. Then, add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the minced shallot and sauté until translucent. Add white wine and mix it together. Add heavy cream and combine well together. Add ¼ teaspoon salt and ground black pepper and mix well.
- Add uni to the pan, reserving some pieces for garnish. Use a wooden spatula to break up the uni into the cream mixture to form a smooth sauce, leaving some small chunks for texture. Taste the sauce and season with salt and black pepper, if needed.
- Transfer the noodles to the sauce in the pan with tongs. Toss to evenly coat the spaghetti with the sauce, adding 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to enrich the sauce. You don‘t want the spaghetti to absorb all the sauce here, so work quickly.
- Transfer the Uni Pasta to individual plates and garnish with the reserved 6 pieces uni.
