Popularized in Japanese breakfast spreads, mentaiko spaghetti is made by blending spicy seasoned fish roe with butter and soy sauce, then tossing it with spaghetti. It comes together quickly and delivers rich flavor, adding an unexpected option to the breakfast table.
Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to the package directions. Reserve a ladleful of pasta water, then drain.
Mash and mix the mentaiko with the butter and soy sauce in a bowl. Gradually add the reserved pasta water until the sauce is smooth.
Toss the spaghetti, removed from the heat, with the sauce. Sprinkle with scallions and nori, then serve.
When mixing the mentaiko with butter, add the pasta water a little at a time to keep the sauce smooth. Remove the spaghetti from the heat before tossing it with the sauce; excessive heat can cause the fish roe to curdle. Contains these allergens: wheat (gluten, spaghetti), dairy (butter), fish (mentaiko), and soy.
Sosu tam kıvamında tutturdum, mentaikonun tuzlu acısı tereyağıyla çok güzel dengelendi. Kahvaltıda beklemediğim kadar iyi gitti.
