Istruzioni

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti according to package instructions or until al dente (roughly 9 minutes)

While the spaghetti is cooking, prepare the sauce. Squeeze mentaiko roe out of the sack and into a large bowl. Then add melted butter, olive oil, cream, Kewpie mayo, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.

Once the spaghetti is al dente, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water. Strain the pasta and add to the sauce. Mix thoroughly making sure every noodle is coated in sauce. If the pasta is feeling too dry, slowly drizzle in pasta water to loosen it up.

Plate and garnish with optional ingredients. Enjoy!
