It’s difficult not to fall in love with this dish. It always tastes like more than the sum of its parts. Good spaghetti, freshly grated lobes of bottarga, a squeeze of lemon, and you’re off to the races.

Look for bronze-extruded pasta. The outer surface of the noodle has a rougher texture, which helps the sauce cling to the spaghetti.
