I learned this from a chef at a restaurant where I used to work, and adapted it to my tastes. This is great when you want a pasta lunch for one. I usually have about 140 g of pasta with this, since it's so scrumptious.

If you mix in the pasta without totally draining off the cooking water from it, the oil and water will emulsify in a delicious way. For 1 serving. Recipe by @miki

Boil the pasta. In the meantime...

...Put the ● ingredients in a heatproof bowl, and microwave for about 30 seconds until the butter melts.

You still have time. Mix the natto.

Make the nori seaweed ready.
5

When the pasta is cooked, drain it and put it into the bowl from Step 2.

Top with the nori seaweed and natto and it's done.

I used a soy sauce with bonito dashi in it. You can use as much soy sauce and/or mentsuyu sauce as you like.
