Cooking tips
- If you don't have a grater for bottarga, freezing it and then crushing it yields evenly broken particles that adhere much better to the pasta and makes preparation easier.
- Bottarga pasta should not be cooked over high heat. The key is to toss the pasta, oil, and bottarga over low or residual heat until they become sticky and cling together.
- The deep umami from the long-aged bottarga is so outstanding that it's best not to add cheese, allowing you to enjoy the pure flavor of the bottarga itself.
Recommended for
- Those who want to enjoy a deep, rich pasta at home that rivals an Italian restaurant.
- Those who find bottarga preparation difficult or lack a dedicated grater and are looking for an easy homemade method.
