|description=This visually attractive recipe makes an ideal light lunch for two
}}

This recipe makes a nice [[Lunch|lunch]] of light main meal for two people.

I've made it with Carluccio's [[Pasta]] Negra (black [[Squid|squid]] ink [[Spaghetti|spaghetti]]) which has a nice visual impact, but no different to plain spaghetti. This could easily be made with any pasta.

[[Cod roe]] is only available fresh during the very limited season (January to March UK) but canned [[Cod|cod]] [[Roe|roe]] is available all year round and the very large cans can be sliced and [[Frozen|frozen]] for later use.
