Wafu Spaghetti Recipe (Japanese Style Pasta)

by Seonkyoung

Hi guys!

I’ve been SO into trying Japanese style pasta, Wafu Pasta!

When I went Japan, I bought so many cookbooks and I’m trying one by one some of those recipes!

Recently I’ve been enjoying Wafu pasta and let me tell you, the ingredients sounds really different and sometimes.. weird!

But I gave tries anyways, and most of the times I’ve been amazingly surprised!!

The flavors and textures I’ve never thought put it tougher… it works!!

I’ve been sharing these wafu spaghetti recipe on my Instagram and so many of you wanted to have the recipe, so here it is!

 

The  recipe I’m going share with you today is “Tsunamayokechappu, abokado”

Which means Tuna Mayo Ketchup & Avocado.

I know, I know, I know….

It’s not something what you expect from a pasta recipe but TRUST me!! It works beautifully!!

I wolfed down this plate of wafu pasta!!!

 

Some of you might able to read Japanese so I will leave the original recipe right here.

Also here is how I cooked with a help with Google translate.

 

 

The recipe calls penne, but all I had was spaghetti (Thanks to Costco special 10 packs of spaghetti) so that’s what I used.
