I used to love tarako pasta when I was in Japan. I loved it so much...but I can't eat it over here?!
Nooo!
So, I experimented to come up with this!!

If you use IKEA's Creamed Smoked Roe on its own, it's rather sweet, salty... and too sweet? So if you eat it as is you may end up missing Japanese tarako even more, so you are forewarned. For 2 servings. Recipe by Popotankobu

Steps

1

I used this product - Cream Smoked Roe. I hear that this is a staple in every Swedish household.
2

Prep: Cook the spaghetti. Mix the ◆ ingredients in a bowl. (The butter will melt in the pasta cooking water, so there's no need to melt it beforehand.)
3

Add pasta cooking water to the bowl with the ◆ ingredients. Add the drained spaghetti to the bowl and mix. Sprinkle with nori seaweed and serve.
4

If it doesn't taste tarako-like enough for you, add a little extra paste on top. Voila, tarako cream pasta overseas.
5

To turn tarako pasta into mentaiko pasta style - add 1 teaspoon of gochujang paste to the ◆ ingredients to add a little spice. (・∀・)
