Vegan Pasta with Creamy Miso Cashew Sauce image

This pasta dish sauce is so full of flavor you may not realize the sauce has no dairy in it! Go sparingly on the miso paste, and add to taste preference. If you have a regular blender, I cannot guarantee the results.

Time 21m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound penne pasta
1 cup unsalted cashews
1 tablespoon white miso paste, or more to taste
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 cups hot water

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set pasta aside.
  • Combine cashews, miso paste, garlic, and hot water in a high frequency blender (such as a Vitamix®). Turn on Vitamix® and quickly increase speed to 10. Blend until mixture is fully blended, 6 to 8 minutes. The mixture should steam when you remove the lid. Pour sauce over pasta and serve - sauce will thicken up as it cools.

CREAMY DOENJANG PASTA



Creamy Doenjang Pasta image

Soybean pastes and noodles make good friends, as in Alexa Weibel's five-ingredient creamy miso pasta. This version leans into the funkier, saltier flavor of doenjang, a Korean soybean paste whose pungency is an absolute pleasure in jjigaes, sauces and even bread made in a can. Here, doenjang is tempered by the natural sweetness of milk, which stars in many Korean takes on Italian pasta. The milk thickens as it mixes with the starchy noodles and creates a velvety sauce, one that tastes rich but measured, with a rounded cheesy quality. It will seem like a lot of liquid at first, but the milk will reduce. The finished pasta sauce will continue to thicken once it's off the heat; add more pasta water if it starts to look dry.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt
1 pound linguine, bucatini or spaghetti
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup doenjang (see Tip)
2 tablespoons mirin
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large, wide pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high. Cook the pasta until about 2 minutes shy of al dente (according to package instructions); it should still be a little uncooked in the center and will finish cooking in the sauce later. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain the pasta and return it to the empty pot. While the pasta is cooking, pour the milk into a large liquid measuring cup or medium bowl. Whisk in the doenjang, mirin and a generous crack of black pepper until the doenjang dissolves.
  • To the pasta pot, add the butter, milk mixture and half of the pasta water. Bring to a simmer over high. Cook, stirring constantly and vigorously with a wooden spoon, until the sauce reduces and thickens significantly, coating the noodles like thin cream, 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and season with salt if needed.
  • Divide among plates. Top with as much grated Parmesan as you'd like and another crack of black pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pasta will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality miso paste.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
  • Make sure the sauce is hot when you add the pasta: This will help the sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or vegetables: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
  • Serve immediately: Creamy miso pasta is best served immediately after it is made.

Conclusion:

Creamy miso pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and it is also a good source of protein and fiber. The next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give creamy miso pasta a try.
