Linguine With Cherry Tomatoes, Basil And Bottarga
- 200 grams linguine
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes (best quality you can get)
- 1 clove of garlic crushed
- 1 small onion thinly sliced
- 12 grams bottarga (powder or grated)
- 1 handful basil
- pepper
- Heat up 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan, add the garlic and onion and cook for 5 min until they begin to soften.
- Quarter the cherry tomatoes, throw them in the pan with the garlic and onion and cook for 10 mins, until soft but not melting.
- Meanwhile, boil the linguine in heavily salted water (as salty as the sea as they say in Italy).
- Add 3 or 4 tablespoons of water from the boiling pasta in the pan with the tomato sauce, to keep it...saucy. Season with pepper (avoid salt as bottarga is quite salty).
- Add the bottarga, mix and top with the pasta and basil. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
