Ingredients

  • 220 grams spaghetti
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • daikon leaves (chopped)
  • ⅓ cup daikon radish (grated and strained)
  • 1 sac karasumi (grated on a microplane)

Instructions

  • Boil the pasta in well salted water for slightly less than the package recommends (my pasta said 11 minutes, I cooked it for 10).
  • After draining the pasta, put the hot pot back on the stove and add the olive oil. 
  • Add the grated daikon and leaves and sauté.
  • Add the pasta and toss to coat evenly while adding the bottarga a little bit at a time. Plate and serve with some additional grated bottarga on top of the pasta.
