Instructions

1. Boil plenty of water in a saucepan, add a large pinch of salt and cook the spaghetti until al dente, following the packet time.
2. Before draining, scoop out about 1/4 cup of the pasta water and set it aside.
3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down and cook for about 3 minutes, until the cut side is nicely browned.
4. Turn the sprouts over, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for a further 2–3 minutes, until the rounded side is browned.
5. Remove the lid. Add the shiitake and sauté for 1–2 minutes, then add the ham strips and sauté for about a minute.
6. Add the butter to the pan and stir. Add the mentsuyu and mix quickly.
7. Turn the heat up to high. Add the drained pasta and 1–2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water.
8. Toss quickly so every strand is coated with sauce and the vegetables and ham are spread evenly.
9. When no liquid remains in the bottom of the pan, take it off the heat and serve straight away.
