Green Miso Spaghetti Recipes

GREEN MISO SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 10 to 12 minutes, then drain, reserving a cup of the cooking water.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the shallots for 5 minutes until soft but not colored. Add the greens and a splash of the pasta water, cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Melt the butter with the miso paste and blend with 150ml (2/3 cup) of the pasta water until smooth. Add to the drained pasta with the greens. Serve with lots of cracked black pepper.

FIVE-INGREDIENT CREAMY MISO PASTA

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.
