Ingredienti per circa 6 persone: 600 gr. di spaghetti, 6 carciofi, vino bianco, bottarga di muggine (cefalo), aglio, peperoncino, prezzemolo, sale, olio.
Preparazione: in una padella fate indorare un paio di spicchi di aglio nell'olio, mettete quindi la parte tenera dei carciofi, tagliata in strisce sottili. Dopo cinque minuti aggiungete tre cucchiai di bottarga grattuggiata, il peperoncino sempre grattuggiato, un bicchiere di vino bianco e lasciate sul fuoco finchè il vino non sia evaporato. Nel mentre fate cuocere al dente in acqua salata gli spaghetti, quando saranno pronti, scolateli e uniteli al sugo nella padella aggiungendo, se volete, un po' di prezzemolo (io sinceramente non lo amo in questo piatto, vedete voi). Lasciate sul fuoco lento un paio di minuti finchè la pasta non assorba gli aromi del sugo e servite in tavola.
Spaghetti with Artichokes and Botargo
This recipe came to my mind while I was visiting the Eataly restaurant in Bologna, where it was in the dishes of the day, and I thought it was a great idea to mix the taste of a seasonal vegetable together with the strong and aromatic one of the mullet botargo (a.k.a. salted mullet roes).

Ingredients for approximately 6 persons: 1.3 lbs of spaghetti, 6 artichokes, mullet botargo (salted mullet roes), garlic, chili pepper, parsley, salt, olive oil.
Preparation: brown a couple of garlic cloves in some oil within a large pan. Put into then the tender part of the artichokes, cut in thin slices. After five minutes add three spoons of grated botargo, the chili pepper (powdered or grated), a glass of white wine and let all cook until the wine will be evaporated. In the meanwhile cook "al dente" the spaghetti in some salted water, when they'll be ready, strain them and put them in the pan together with the sauce adding some parsley (I don't love parsely in this dish, so this is up to your taste). Let the pan cook on a low heat for a couple of minute then dish the pasta together with its sauce.
