Recipe

Tagliatelle with ling roe, smoked tuna and egg yolk

Serves 4

A recipe inspired by the traditional Italian carbonara, replacing the cheese with grated ling roe and the pancetta with diced smoked tuna.

A light touch of garlic, extra virgin olive oil and the egg yolk so typical of carbonara create a creamy, tasty sauce you won't forget.

Method

  1. Separate the yolks from the whites and set aside.
  2. Grate the ling roe and set aside.
  3. Peel and thinly slice the garlic.
  4. Brown the garlic slices in a pan with a couple of tablespoons of oil. Drain them on kitchen paper and let the oil cool.
  5. Cook the pasta in salted water.
  6. Meanwhile, dice the smoked tuna and chop the coriander and chives.
  7. Transfer the cooked pasta to a bowl and mix it with the reserved oil, a couple more tablespoons of oil, the yolks and the grated roe.
  8. Plate carefully so the pasta doesn't break and finish with the diced smoked tuna and some fried garlic slices.

The e-smok tip

Take the product out of the fridge a few minutes before using it: at room temperature cured fish releases its full aroma and its texture becomes more melting. And don't overcook it: add it at the end, off the heat, so it stays juicy.
