1T white wine vinegar
2T extra virgin olive oil
1t peppercorns

Signature Select Spaghetti Preparation
8oz Signature Select Whole Wheat Spaghetti, prepared according to package direction.
1 egg
1/3C chopped Italian parsley
Salt and pepper
butter
Whisk egg, parsley, salt and pepper.
Heat enough butter to coat a small nonstick pan.
Dip 3/4C of spaghetti into the egg mixture to coat. Lift pasta out of the bowl to drain. You only want enough egg mixture on the pasta to make it stick together when cooked. Place a pancake ring into the pan and fill with pasta. Press down and make as compact as possible. Cover and cook on medium low until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Repeat 3 more times. Turn off the heat and begin plate preparation.
Plate Preparation
Spread 1/3C red pepper coulis on a plate. Place the cooked pasta stack on top. Spread 1/3C of the mackerel Pâté on top of the pasta. Stack pickled broccolini stems on top of the pate. Sprinkle the toasted hemp hearts on top of the Pâté and pickled broccolini. Spread the little broccolini buds around the plate and enjoy!
