Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the artisanal fusilli and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Making the Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

  2. 3

    Add Sea Urchin and Anchovies

    Stir in the sea urchin roe and chopped anchovy fillets. If using, add the cured tuna heart. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to combine.

  3. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Season with black pepper to taste.

  4. 5

    Finish with Basil

    Remove from heat and fold in the torn fresh basil. Serve immediately.
