2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced garlic
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
4 fresh sea urchins or 8 ounces sea urchin meat

salt and pepper to taste
¾ pound of linguine

Cook linguine in plenty of salty water. Pre-heat sauté pan, add oil, garlic, the chopped anchovy and the parsley. Cook till garlic is golden brown. Add white wine and let reduce then add the linguine al dente and sea urchin. Toss vigorously until the linguine and the sea urchin bonds together.
