Re the spaghetti alla bottarga I had at Madeo, JXS notes:

>Ingredients: 
>1 pound spaghetti 
>Salt 
>1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 
>1 large clove garlic, crushed 
>2 to 3 ounces bottarga, finely grated 
>3 tablespoons very finely chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional) 
>
>Just like that?

This was more subtle than that.  For one thing, it had breadcrumbs --
from a rosemary bread, I'm guessing.  Also, the sauce (really just the
pasta-coating; there was no sauce on the plate) was more complex than
good old evoo+garlic, although I couldn't identify all the flavors.

Well, although Bottega de Marino on Larchmont is pretty mediocre in
the sauce department, their homemade fettucini is wonderful.  Hmmm,
I wonder if they sell it take-out....


Rage away,
