Japanese Flavored Tarako Cream Pasta
- 400 grams Spaghetti
- 1 Tarako - salt cured pollack or cod roe
- 1/2 tbsp Onion
- 1/2 packet Shimeji mushrooms
- 30 grams Butter
- 1 tbsp Cake flour
- 250 ml Milk
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 Salt and pepper
- 5 leaves Shiso leaves
- Slice the onion thinly.
- Cut the root ends off the shimeji mushrooms and shred.
- Chop up the shiso leaves.
- Stir fry the ingredients from step 1 (except for the shiso leaves) in 20 g of butter.
- When it's all wilted, add the cake flour, and mix until it's no longer floury.
- Turn off the heat and add the milk and tarako.
- It's easy to break up the tarako on top of a wooden spatula, using a fork.
- (If you don't like the membrane, this wouldn't work for you, just scrape out the insides and add that to the pan.)
- Turn the heat back on, add the remaining 10 g of butter, and simmer while mixing until the sauce is creamy.
- Boil the pasta in generously salted water.
- Just before the pasta is done, add about 2 ladles full of the cooking water to the pan with the sauce.
- Add the soy sauce, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- When the pasta is done, drain, put back in the pan, and mix with the sauce from Step 7.
- Transfer to serving plates, scatter chopped shiso leaves and enjoy.
