Mentaiko Pasta (明太子パスタ) is a modern Japanese pasta dish invented about 60 years ago in Tokyo. Delicious and easy to prepare, it's become one of the most popular pasta dishes in households around Japan. I skip the cream in favor of a briny emulsion of spicy cod roe, olive oil, and butter in my version.
