This recipe features tender mushrooms and al dente noodles tossed in a creamy, salty, umami-rich sauce.
I adapted this recipe from Alexa Weibels popularFive-Ingredient Creamy Miso Pastarecipe in The New York Times.
What Is Miso?
Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
Miso is a paste typically made from fermented soybeans, rice, and salt.
It has a salty, umami flavor and is popular in Japanese cooking.
White miso paste contains more rice and is fermented for less time, so it has a lighter flavor.
Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
Red miso is fermented for longer and contains more soybeans, so it has a deeper umami flavor.
I prefer white miso paste in this recipe.
Its milder flavor doesnt overwhelm the other flavors in the dish.
Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
Mix the reheated noodles before eating.
Bring it to a boil over high heat.
Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions.
Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander.
Set the colander over the pasta pot so it stays warm.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
Add the mushrooms and saute until golden, 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the mushrooms to a bowl or directly to the empty pasta pot.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt.
Simply Recipes / Hannah Zimmerman
Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add more pasta water, if needed, to thin out the sauce.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs, if using.
Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
