I retired from being a chef a few years back but this was one of my favourite things I created.

This pasta took me a long time to develop it uses lobster roe to create a pasta that changes colour when it cooks. This dish was cooked table side for guests in a pot of tomato brodo. Served with lightly cured sliced spot prawns and herbs.

  1. That is so brilliant, and also very sick. Thank you for sharing.

    This is genuinely incredible. Like one of those high school science experiments that blows your mind. It’s like when the wizard of oz goes from black and white to colour. Thanks for sharing OP! Really cool!

    Thank You for sharing Chef. Looks like some Michelin Star stuff right there.

  6. That’s probably the most interesting thing I’ve seen in a minute. Nice work! I hope you enjoy your retirement you’ve definitely earned it, hopefully you never stop creating!

    That is one of the coolest culinary tricks I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t blame you for keeping your secrets, but I’m really curious how you did this.

    Wonder why no one has done this using mitten crab roe back in my home country. That stuff was priced like liquid gold.
