Delicious! I first had this dish when I lived in Japan. The spicy "pop" of the tarako really perks up the pasta and balances the heaviness of the cream. While tarako is probably tough to find in smaller communities it should be a pretty standard item at most Japanese/Asian grocery stores. Read More

I also like to add a touch of Kewpie Mayo. It's optional but I seem to see a few recipes that use it. Read More

thanks this was so simple and tasted wonderful! i added some sliced mushrooms (when i had this in japan it came with shimeji mushrooms) and garnished it with some cilantro which added a nice contrast to the richness. also i just added enough cream to smooth out the consistency and it turned out great.

I would never have thought to make homemade tarako spaghetti. Thanks for taking me away from the store bought mixes; they seem so bland now. I didn't use the spicy roe so I just added crushed red pepper to my serving. My kids loved it too. I couldn't help but add 1 crushed clove of garlic after smelling the cream/butter mixture. This is really easy and fabuloso! Read More
