heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami flavor.

Prepare the ingredients by cutting various types of mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.

Chop garlic and slice onion (red or yellow) for the sauce base.

Measure the miso paste, choosing between red or white based on desired umami flavor.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat until hot, then add the cut mushrooms.

Sauté the mushrooms until golden brown and crispy, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Towards the end of cooking the mushrooms, add a splash of sherry vinegar to deglaze the pan, enhancing the flavor.

Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

In a separate pot, sauté chopped garlic and sliced onion in olive oil until fragrant and translucent.

Add the sautéed mushrooms back into the pot with the garlic and onion to combine.

In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with softened butter until smooth and lump-free, then add this mixture to the pot with the mushrooms and aromatics.

Pour in heavy cream and stir gently, allowing it to come to a simmer without boiling too quickly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

While the sauce simmers, cook your choice of pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

Immediately add the drained pasta to the pot with the miso sauce, ensuring not to let the pasta sit too long in the colander.

Toss the pasta until evenly coated with the sauce, ensuring every strand is covered.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary, and add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring until the pasta absorbs the flavors of the sauce and reaches the desired consistency.

Serve the pasta in bowls, garnished with fresh sliced scallions and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, with optional grated parmesan on top.
