CREAMY Miso Mushroom Pasta (30 minute dinner!)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami flavor.

Cook spaghetti until al dente; reserve some pasta water before draining.

Mix dashi powder with reserved pasta water for later use in the sauce.

Sear sliced shiitake mushrooms in a dry pan until golden brown, then add butter to enhance browning.

Add brown onions to the pan with the mushrooms and sauté until browned.

Add low sodium soy sauce around the edges of the pan to create a char and mix everything together.

De-glaze the pan with sake after the mushrooms and onions are browned.

Add the dashi stock to the pan and reduce to half.

Stir in miso paste until dissolved completely.

Pour in heavy cream and add freshly grated parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and sauce thickens.

Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and mix well.

Finish with a spritz of lemon juice to balance the richness.
