- 80 grams Capellini
- 20 grams Mentaiko
- 1/2 Tomato
- 100 ml Special tomato sauce
- 25 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 leaves Basil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 400 ml Canned whole tomatoes
- 3 clove Garlic, minced
- 1/2 Onion, minced
- 100 ml Red wine
- 8 leaves Basil, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 100 ml Water
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- First make the sauce.
- Put 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cool frying pan.
- Turn the heat to low and patiently cook the garlic until it colors.
- When the garlic becomes slightly browned, add the onion and cook well.
- Once the onion becomes tender, pour in the red wine and turn the heat to high to cook off the alcohol content.
- Remove the stems from and gently crush the tomatoes.
- Add the tomatoes, 100 ml of water, and the bay leaf to the pan and simmer on low heat.
- Remove the bay leaf after 5 minutes.
- After it has simmered for 20 minutes and has lessened in volume by about half (lessened to 500 ml), add the chopped basil and the Parmesan cheese.
- Simmer for another 3 minutes.
- Once it has cooled, the special sauce is complete.
- Since no salt is added to the sauce, season with salt depending on what dish you will be using.
- Boil the tomato in hot water to remove the skin.
- Remove the seeds and cut into 1 cm cubes.
- Cut the mozzarella cheese into 1 cm cubes.
- Remove the membrane from the mentaiko.
- Combine 100 ml of tomato sauce, the mentaiko, the tomato, and the cheese in a bowl.
- In order to chill the pasta, prepare 500 ml of 1% saline water.
- Boil the capellini in 1% saline water.
- Boil for about 30 seconds longer than stated on the package.
- Soak the pasta in the cold salted water to chill.
- Once chilled, thoroughly drain the water and add to the bowl with the sauce.
- Once the sauce has coated the pasta, arrange on a dish and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Top with fresh basil and it's done.
