Classic Mentaiko Pasta 明太子パスタ

I love food! I love trying to make my favorite foods and sharing them with others. I enjoy adjusting recipes to always yield the best results.

2 Tbsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (for boiling pasta)

8 oz spaghetti (4 oz, 113 g per serving)

2 sacs spicy salted pollock roe or cod roe (karashi mentaiko) (the mentaiko I use has no food coloring, so my finished dish looks less pink/orange than other versions; use about one mentaiko sac (1 oz, 30 g) per serving)

2 Tbsp whole milk

2 Tbsp heavy (whipping) cream

2 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

1 Tbsp soy sauce

freshly ground black pepper

Toppings

shredded nori seaweed (kizami nori) (you can cut sheet of nori into thin 2-inch (5-cm) strips)
