SOBA WITH GREEN CHILE PESTO

Soba with Green Chile Pesto image

The key to cooking with chiles is to think of their heat not as a dare but as another essential building block of flavor, right alongside salt, acid, and fat. Rather than overpowering a dish, a perfectly calibrated prickle of spice enhances the other elements and wakes up the palate.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 ounces soba (Japanese-style noodles)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons white miso
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

(Pinons do tend to stick to the pan more than other nuts so flipping them for an even toasting doesn’t always work. You'll need to use a heat proof spatula of some type.)
