📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook 6 oz. bucatini or spaghetti in a large pot of generously salted boiling water just until pliable, about ⏱️ 5 minutes less than package directions (it’ll finish cooking in the sauce). Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot.

Add 1 cup heavy cream, 2 large garlic cloves, finely grated, and ½ cup reserved pasta cooking liquid to pot with pasta. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed if sauce is reducing too fast, until pasta is al dente and sauce is thickened and coats pasta, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Stir in 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil. Taste and add more salt if needed (pasta should be nicely seasoned to bring out the seaweed’s natural salinity).
