Ingredients
- 200 g dry spaghetti
- 3000 ml water
- 1 tbsp salt
- 80 g spicy cod roe (mentaiko) or tarako
- 20 g unsalted butter room temperature/soft
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp tsuyu sauce or soy sauce
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp whole milk
- 3 perilla (shiso) leaves (ooba/shiso) thinly sliced, or kizami nori

Instructions
- First, bring a pot of 3000 ml water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 tbsp salt and 200 g dry spaghetti. Cook until "al dente" (firm to the bite).
- Cut the membrane of 80 g spicy cod roe (mentaiko) and scrape out the roe using a spoon. (You can eat the leftover skin with rice or put it in rice balls.)
- Take a large mixing bowl and add the mentaiko, 20 g unsalted butter, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp tsuyu sauce, 1 pinch ground black pepper and 1 tbsp whole milk.
- Take 1-2 tablespoons of the pasta water and add it to the bowl of mentaiko sauce. Mix thoroughly.
- Drain the rest of the water and add the cooked pasta to the bowl. Mix until the pasta is well covered in the sauce.
- Transfer to serving plates and top with 3 perilla (shiso) leaves (or kizami nori).
- Squeeze 1 slice lemon over the top (optional) and enjoy!
