by: claire cary
This creamy miso pasta requires just a few simple, pantry staple ingredients and tastes like a gourmet meal. It's cheesy, easy to make and perfect with spaghetti.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces pasta of choice
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 shallot minced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup white miso
- 1 cup parmesan
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups pasta water
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions. Make sure to save 1 1/4 cups of pasta water!
- Add the butter to a saute pan and melt over medium heat.
- Add in the minced shallot and garlic and saute for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the miso and saute for 1 minute.
- Whisk in the parmesan, salt, pepper and pasta water.
- Whisk until the cheese melts. If you want a super creamy sauce, you can transfer to a blender, but everything should melt together nicely.
- Combine with the cooked pasta and toss until the pasta is well coated.
- Serve with red pepper flakes for a bit of spice and enjoy!
Notes
For a sharper flavor, you can use pecorino romano instead of or in addition to the parmesan.
