Pasta with Bottarga
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Bottarga is made from mullet roe and, like fish roe in general, it scores points with vitamin B12. This B vitamin is also called cobalamin and we need it for the breakdown of fatty acids and healthy blood formation. Other important B vitamins from pasta with fish roe come from whole grain spaghetti.
You can get the fish roe for the pasta from a fishmonger or in an Italian supermarket. Bottarga in Sardinia is traditionally made from sea ash roe.
