CARBONARA of the SEA!!!. For creamy sea urchin pasta recipes, the typical process is to sauté garlic, shallots, and chilies in olive oil, then add the pasta and pour in a sauce made from raw sea urchin roe blended with softened butter or heavy cream. It's then cooked just long enough for the sauce to heat through and thicken, taking on a rich, glossy sheen. Mentaiko spaghetti is my favorite of the Japanese-Western fusion cuisine known as Yoshoku. It takes marinated salted cod or pollock roe—briny little pink bits bursting with umami—and incorporates it in a creamy pasta that's like a carbonara of the sea.

The Sea Carbonara Recipe by Chef Giulio Terrinoni. Method: Remove the fish eggs from their outer film. This Sea Urchin Carbonara: the very first carbonara I was willing to try, and the only one I fell head over heels in love with. Back then it was served as a much smaller portion, with a thicker uni cream sauce and way more bacon.

- Note: if the sauce is to rich for your liking then add a teaspoon of sour cream. I also served this with crispy salmon skin and spring onions..
Today though, portion's larger, bacon's lesser, and uni cream is sweeter and more buttery than I recall. Sea urchin is pricey stuff, but a little goes a long way, and this dish delivers the sort of briny, mineral, sweet, and sophisticated flavor you'd typically expect to find only in a great restaurant. It's bright and fresh, with a mild heat that cuts through the creamy richness—perfect for pairing with Champagne. Last weekend we played hooky for a couple of days and went deep-sea fishing. It was the first time for my husband and older son, but they did not disappoint!
