Equipment

  • Sauté Pan
  • Large Pot

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. Dried Pasta I used Gigli. I like the way it holds the mushroom sauce. You can also use spaghetti, linguine, etc.
  • 8 oz. Mushrooms I used a variety of mushrooms that are all in one pack at you grocery store or Costco.
  • 6 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter Softened
  • 2 tbsp Miso Paste White
  • 1 tsp Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Whipping Cream
  • 1 Cup Pasta Water Reserved
  • 2 tbsp Oliver Oil Extra Virgin

Instructions

Pasta

  • Bring a large pot of water with 2 tbsp of salt to a boil.
  • Add pasta and cook until it is al dente, 1-2 minutes less than pasta instructions.

Miso-Butter

  • Mix softened butter, miso paste, soy sauce and sugar together.

Mushrooms

  • Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a sauté pan on high heat.
  • Sauté mushrooms until slightly browned.
  • Remove mushrooms from the sauté pan and lower heat to medium-low.

Final Preparation

  • Add the miso-butter mixture to the sauté pan and stir until it is heated through and starts to bubble.
  • Add whipping cream and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the al dente pasta mushrooms (juice too) to the sauté pan.
  • Gently toss all ingredients until thoroughly mixed. If the mixture is too dry, gradually add in some of the reserved pasta water.
