Spaghetti with chives and salmon eggs.Quentin Jones

Time:< 30 mins

This is a simple dish that relies on the quality of the ingredients for its success. Use the best extra virgin olive oil that can be afforded and artisan, bronze extruded pasta such as Giovanni Fabbri, Giuseppe Cocco or Martelli.

Ingredients

240g spaghettini (thin spaghetti)
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
1/3 cup finely sliced chives
160g salmon roe

Method

Bring a pot of abundant salted water to a rolling boil and plunge in spaghettini. Cook until pasta is al dente, drain and dress in a bowl with olive oil. Mix well and allow to cool to room temperature. Season with a little salt and mix through the chives. Distribute among four plates and finish with salmon roe on each.
