Spaghetti Napolitan aka Japanese ketchup pasta (?!) #japanesefood #dinnerideas #pastarecipe
Spaghetti Napolitan — also informally known as Japanese Ketchup Pasta — is one of my favourite yōshoku dishes! Ketchup hits so many of our taste senses: sweet, tangy and umami. Cooking it thoroughly unlocks a deeper flavour, transforming it from a basic condiment to a delicious component of the sauce along with smokey bacon, earthy mushrooms, sweet bell peppers and onions. This recipe is adapted from the one in The Gaijin Cookbook by Ivan Orkin and Chris Ying. I’ve made it so many times that I’ve adapted proportions of ingredients and added soy sauce to balance ketchup’s sweetness. Hope you love it as much as I do!
INGREDIENTS (3-4 servings)
5 strips bacon, cut into 1/3” square pieces (~150g)
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced (~250g)
½ large white onion, thinly sliced (~125g)
3 garlic cloves, minced
¾ lb (340g) cremini or white mushrooms, thinly sliced
½ C ketchup
1 tbsp soy sauce
¾ lb (340g) spaghetti
Salt to taste and for pasta water
To serve:
Grated parm
Tobasco
Eat well and be well,
Sonia

. . . What the hell is the ketchup pasta you give to a picky kid? I used to like ketchup in rice but I think even chaotic toddler me wouldn’t stoop that low. Dunno how Ima be able to look my kid in the eyes without disdain if they want ketchup on their noodles
Sadly i hate ketchup and mushrooms
Am Filipino, we have a tradition of making spaghetti with ketchup. Banana ketchup, specifically. I personally didn't care much for it then, but nowadays, I get nostalgic for it and a quick trip to Jollibee's once in a while takes care of the cravings. 😂😂😂
I'm a picky eater but I will gladly gobble those up 🤤🤤
As an italian, I'll respect other cultures, but this spaghetti arr just…not my tastes…
that looks so good
🤦🏻♂️
That looks really good. I saved it.
Would this be like using sweet and sour sauce ? Ive seen recipes using ketchup to make sweet and sour sauce so maybe the idea is similar to that…?
Good to see some variety to the baking recipes
Interesting never thought about ketchup because of the sugar content.
Ketchup on pasta? Hard pass. 🤮
