Author Notes
Mix some linguine with juicy cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and bottarga, to conjure the taste of sea under the italian sun. Quick and simple, however definitely a statement dish. —YeorjiaCooks
Ingredients
-
200 grams
linguine
-
200 grams
cherry tomatoes (best quality you can get)
-
1
clove of garlic crushed
-
1
small onion thinly sliced
-
12 grams
bottarga (powder or grated)
-
1 handful
basil
-
pepper
Directions
-
Heat up 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan, add the garlic and onion and cook for 5 min until they begin to soften.
-
Quarter the cherry tomatoes, throw them in the pan with the garlic and onion and cook for 10 mins, until soft but not melting.
-
Meanwhile, boil the linguine in heavily salted water (as salty as the sea as they say in Italy).
-
Add 3 or 4 tablespoons of water from the boiling pasta in the pan with the tomato sauce, to keep it...saucy. Season with pepper (avoid salt as bottarga is quite salty).
-
Add the bottarga, mix and top with the pasta and basil. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
