FIVE-INGREDIENT CREAMY MISO PASTA

This one-pot pasta comes together in minutes, and requires zero prep and minimal cleanup. It builds on the classic combination of pasta, butter and cheese with a spoonful of miso paste for complexity. But you could experiment with using any other condiments or spices you have on hand, such as red pesto, curry paste or ground turmeric in place of the miso. To achieve a silky smooth pasta, you'll need to put your cacio e pepe skills to work: Vigorously toss the pasta, grated cheese and pasta water together to achieve a properly emulsified sauce. Top with shrimp, edamame, frozen peas or any steamed vegetable. The optional nori or furikake imparts an unexpected flavor of the sea, and it's worth using if you have it on hand.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
16 ounces spaghetti, linguine or bucatini
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons white (or red) miso
4 ounces Parmesan, finely grated (1 packed cup)
Kizami nori, furikake or thinly sliced seaweed snacks, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  • Add the butter, miso and 1 1/4 cups pasta water to the pot and whisk over medium heat until miso breaks down and liquid is uniform, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pasta and Parmesan and cook, stirring vigorously with tongs until cheese is melted and sauce emulsifies. (The key word here is "vigorously." To achieve a silky smooth pasta instead of a gloppy one, put your cacio e pepe skills to work.)
  • Divide among shallow bowls and sprinkle with nori or furikake, if using.

MISO-BUTTER PASTA WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH



Miso-Butter Pasta With Butternut Squash image

A true love match, miso and butter create a simple yet deeply flavorful pasta that hits all the right notes: sweet, salty and savory. Smashed garlic cloves roast with the squash to gently flavor it, then become silky-soft treasures you'll discover while eating. Finishing the dish with lime cuts through the richness of the butter, but you can use lemon, too. Try using other vegetables like eggplant, pumpkin or carrots to make this dish your own.

Categories     pastas, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons white miso
3 to 5 large garlic cloves, smashed
2 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (see Tip)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound mezze rigatoni or other short pasta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1 lime, zested and juiced (2 teaspoons zest, 2 tablespoons juice)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a sheet pan, mash together the butter and miso. Add the garlic and squash, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss to coat with the miso-butter mixture. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Cook until easily pierced with a fork and the raw taste is gone, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, adjusting the heat to maintain a gentle boil, and cook until just shy of al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain the noodles. If done before the squash, drizzle with olive oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Leave in the sink to drain.
  • When the squash is done, return the pasta to the pot over low heat. Scrape in squash, garlic and any liquid that accumulated, then add the Parmesan and 1/2 cup pasta water, stirring well until the noodles have a light sheen to them. If it appears dry, add more pasta water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Stir in the lime zest and juice, season to taste with salt, and top with pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using. Serve with extra cheese.

The ultimate mashup! A magical pasta sauce with miso paste and brown butter. Works with any shape of pasta.

Provided by Stefan W

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8 ounce) package dry pasta
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
7 tablespoons butter
20 large sage leaves
2 tablespoons miso paste
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
½ lemon, juiced
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain, saving 1 cup of pasta cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook shallots until softened, about 8 minutes. Remove all from heat and set aside.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet until it foams. Add sage leaves, reduce heat slightly, and cook until butter is browned and sage is crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and take out sage from the butter. Set aside.
  • Whisk miso paste into the browned butter immediately. Add a splash of preserved pasta water, shallots, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and top with crispy sage and Parmesan cheese.
