One of my guilty pleasures? Mentaiko. Roe from cod or pollack salted and marinated in a chili spice. Simply as it is or grilled and served with rice. It's nice spread on garlic toast, or one of our favorites, mentaiko pasta.
I love angel hair pasta for this dish. While the water is coming to a boil scrape the mentaiko out of its sac. Cook the angel hair pasta until al dente.
Put the pasta in a bowl, add the mentaiko and some mayonnaise and butter. Stir until combined and serve immediately.
If you are looking for a healthful version, use extra virgin olive oil instead of the mayonnaise and butter.
