About Spaghetti with sea urchin and grey mullet bottarga

Spaghetti with sea urchin and grey mullet bottarga is a luxurious Italian dish that combines the rich brininess of seafood with simple pasta. Originating from coastal regions of Italy, this recipe features al dente spaghetti tossed in a creamy sea urchin sauce, which adds a unique, umami depth, and is finished with a generous sprinkle of grated bottarga, the salted and cured roe of the grey mullet. Bottarga brings a bold, smoky flavor and a boost of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health. Sea urchin adds protein, essential minerals like zinc and magnesium, and vitamin B12 for brain function. While the dish is flavorful and nutrient-rich, it’s also indulgent, with moderate calorie content and sodium levels from the cured bottarga and sauce components. Ideal for those celebrating Mediterranean cuisine, this dish balances decadence and nutrition in every bite.
