Method

Ingredients

Carefully dice up the scallops and roe and infuse with the lemon juice, parsley and Tabasco.

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.

Add half the olive oil and then the spaghetti. Boil until the spaghetti is al dente (it must still have a bit of a bite to it), remove from water and drain. Add the diced butter, olive oil, truffle oil and mint leaves to the spaghetti. Keep warm.

Heat a frying pan and add the oil. Sauté the onions and add the garlic and chilli. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and scallops and sauté for 3 minutes.

Quickly toss the blanched spinach through the above mix. Place equal portions of spaghetti on 6 large plates. Spoon the scallop sauce over and garnish with ricotta cheese.
