If you've ever bought a pack of nori, I'm sure you've had at least a few sheets go stale before you were able to use it all. With this easy pasta recipe, you'll never have that problem again! Honestly, this is one of the best things I've cooked this year, and it's definitely going on regular rotation in our household.
It may sound a little crazy, but this nori cream pasta is such a good combo, and it comes together in the time it takes to boil a pot of pasta. All you really need is salt, nori, cream, and pasta. The lemon zest can be substituted for other citrus zest, yuzu kosho, wasabi, garlic, or really anything aromatic. As for the cheese, it adds more umami, but this is still delicious without it.

Simply gobsmacked at how tasty, simple and unique this concoction is. I remember 30 years ago being a fake food snob in Kyoto scoffing at Japanized versions of Italian food. Boy, was I an idiot! Glad I got religion =) Bravissimo, Marc!

Hahaha I was that fake food snob once! Food evolves as it moves around the world and this innovation through assimilation has created some of the greatest dishes known to man (tacos al pastor, ramen, chicken jalfrezi, karaage, the list is long). Glad you enjoyed this!
