Cream Pasta with Simmered Seaweed Paste

Cream Pasta with Simmered Seaweed Paste

Ingredients (2 servings)

Spaghetti 200 g
Shiitake Mushroom 40 g
Milk 400 mL
Seaweed Paste 3 tbsp
Butter 25 g
Green Onion as needed

How to Make

1 Cut the shiitake mushrooms into roughly 5 mm wide pieces. Cut the green onions into small pieces.
2 Heat butter in a frying pan over low heat and fry the shiitake mushrooms. Once soft, add the milk and seaweed paste, mix well, and simmer until reduced to 1/3 to make the sauce.
3 Serve the boiled spaghetti in a bowl, pour the sauce over it, and top with green onions.

A unique fusion dish, this creamy pasta is enriched with the deep umami of nori tsukudani.
The savory, slightly sweet seaweed pairs beautifully with the rich cream sauce, creating a smooth and well-balanced flavor.
Simple yet indulgent, it brings a subtle taste of Japan to a comforting classic.
