[MUJI] Rich and addictive! 3 selections of "cream sauce x short pasta"
My name is Masayo Sakamoto, a writer who loves MUJI.
Did you know that MUJI has recently started offering a wide variety of stylish "short pasta" packed with the delicious flavor of wheat, as well as "pasta sauces" that only require heating and mixing?
The pasta sauces in particular make the most of the quality of the ingredients and many of them are rich and difficult to make at home, so they would be great for home parties or entertaining guests.
This time, we will introduce three carefully selected cream sauces from MUJI's pasta sauce lineup, along with some recommended short pasta.
1: Luxurious truffle aroma! Truffle cream x rigatoni
First up is the "Truffle Cream Pasta Sauce that Brings Out the Flavor of the Ingredients" (130g per serving, 590 yen).
It is paired with the chewy "Short Pasta Rigatoni" (200g, 250 yen).
The moment you open the bag, you'll be greeted with the rich aroma of truffles. When you heat it up, the aroma becomes even stronger, and the truffle grains sprinkled throughout the sauce whet your appetite.
The cream sauce, made with fresh cream, has a rich and mellow flavor, and the finely chopped salty pancetta adds a nice accent.
The rigatoni is chewy and satisfying! The wavy surface of the rigatoni cakes allows the cream to cling to them perfectly.
It's also perfect for a slightly luxurious dinner. We recommend serving it on a baguette so you can enjoy every last bit of the sauce.
2: The fragrant taste will become an addictive taste! Pistachio cream and penne rigate
This is "Pistachio Cream Pasta Sauce that Brings Out the Flavor of the Ingredients" (130g per serving, 550 yen).
It is paired with the pen-shaped "Short Pasta Penne Rigate" (200g, 250 yen).
When you think of pistachios, you probably think of them in sweets and snacks, but a pasta sauce is probably quite unusual.
This pistachio cream sauce is very rich. When I poured it onto a plate before heating it, it had a paste-like consistency like peanut butter.
The sauce is made with Parmesan cheese, so the smoothness of the cream and the richness of the cheese go perfectly together for a rich flavor! The fragrant pistachios add depth to the flavor.
The rich sauce coats the pasta well, making it easy to eat.
This is a dish that allows you to fully enjoy the flavor of pistachio.
3: Filled with ingredients, it's delicious! Porcini cream and fusilli
Lastly, we have "Porcini Cream Pasta Sauce that Brings Out the Flavor of the Ingredients" (150g per serving, 420 yen).
It is paired with the spiral-shaped "Short Pasta Fusilli" (200g, 250 yen).
When you open the bag, the rich aroma of porcini mushrooms wafts out.
The smooth sauce is packed with ingredients such as mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, and fried onions.
When you eat it, the flavors of the porcini and other mushrooms are well-infused, giving it a mild yet deep taste.
The deep grooves of the fusilli and the sauce go perfectly together! I think this cream pasta is popular with people of all ages and genders.
MUJI has many other pasta sauces and pastas, so be sure to find your favorite combination. (Text by Masayo Sakamoto)
