I used to make a warm nagaimo spaghetti dish. I prepared it chilled for a change, and it still tasted amazing.

Take care not to overcook the pasta. Since the nagaimo is unseasoned, make the sauce in Step 3 on the salty side, like store-bought mentsuyu. It's best eaten with plenty of sauce that there'll be leftovers. Recipe by commeline.
