Instructions

1. 1 Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grease the grates well.

Drizzle with the olive oil on both sides, rubbing into the steak.
3. 3 Place the steaks on the grill, and cook, flipping once, about 8 to 10 minutes for medium.

Ingredients

• ✓ lemon
• spaghetti
• olive oil
• garlic
• red chile pepper
• mullet bottarga
• parsley

Instructions

1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
2. 2 Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
3. 3 Add garlic to the oil and cook until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chile pepper and stir together, reducing the temperature to medium-low. Continue stirring. The garlic should never become dark brown or crispy. If this has happened, the garlic is burnt and no longer appropriate for consumption.
4. 4 Drain the pasta, reserving at least 1 cup pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the oil mixture, still on medium-low heat. Stir or toss until all the spaghetti is well coated. Add 3/4 of the bottarga and stir to mix with the spaghetti, adding the reserved pasta water to hydrate as needed. There should be a little "sauce" when serving but not soupy.
5. 5 Divide onto 4 plates and sprinkle with chopped parsley and lemon zest; squeeze lemon juice over and sprinkle remaining bottarga on top right before serving.
