BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Have your cooked eggs or fish ready on a heated dish, and have the vinegar at hand in a cruet or bottle with sprinkle-top.
• Melt the butter in a small frying pan and let it darken to a nut-brown colour.
• Immediately take the pan off the heat and dash in the vinegar.
• Season it with a little salt and pepper and pour it sizzling hot over the eggs.

BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook butter until brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the capers and vinegar; mixture will spatter and foam up. Remove from heat. Continue to stir until foam subsides. Stir in salt and pepper. Pour the mixture on the roe that has been poached in butter.

PASTA WITH BROWN BUTTER AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta, but don't shake it fully dry.
• In a skillet or Dutch oven large enough to hold the pasta (and preferably with a light-colored bottom so you can see the butter solids brown), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 4 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn. If it does, start over.) Remove from heat immediately.
• Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with the brown butter. Stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the pasta is glossy with sauce (you probably won't need the full 1/2 cup).
• Serve with black pepper and more Parmesan on top.
