- 10 leaves Shiso leaves
- 16 grams Butter
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream

- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water (1 tablespoon to 2 liters of water) following package instructions.
- Cut the shiso leaves in half lengthwise and finely shred.
- Take the membrane off the mentaiko by scraping it with the back of a knife.
- Put all the ingredients except for the shiso leaves in a bowl.
- (The photo shows 1 serving.)
- When the pasta is cooked, drain well in a sieve and move to a bowl.
- Add half of the julienned shiso leaves as well.
- Mix and taste.
- If it seems too dry, add a little of the pasta cooking water.
- Transfer to serving plates, top with the remaining shiso and enjoy!
- This is a version made with 3 tablespoons of salt-cured squid (ika no shiokara).
- This is great too!
- I added some mixed seaweed to this festive version.
