0 In a blender or food processor, combine uni and heavy cream. Blend until smooth, then set aside.
1 Prepare a pot of salted boiling water and cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
2 While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Toss in the shallot and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Keep stirring and adjust the heat as needed to prevent them from browning.
3 Next, add sambal (if using) and cook for another minute to create a quick chili oil.
4 Pour in the sake and allow it to cook down until reduced by half.
5 Toss in the cooked pasta then pour in the uni cream mixture. Mix until well combined.
6 Depending on the thickness of your sauce, that will depend how much pasta water you will need to add. Start with 2 tablespoons then add one tablespoon of pasta water at a time until the sauce is to your desired consistency.
7 Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8 Plate the pasta to serve. Garnish with extra uni and chives. Enjoy!
