Description
A rich and creamy pasta dish featuring sautéed mushrooms and a flavorful miso sauce, ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb dried bucatini
- 1.5 lb assorted mushrooms (shiitake, maitake, chanterelle, oyster), chopped or pulled apart
- 1/4 cup yellow miso paste
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups pasta water
- 1/2 cup grated pecorino romano
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- 4 tsp olive oil
- Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 teaspoons of olive oil, allowing it to coat the skillet evenly.
- Introduce the mushrooms into the hot oil. Sauté them, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms, cooking until fragrant, roughly 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream, followed by the yellow miso paste. Stir until the miso fully dissolves into the sauce.
- Incorporate the butter gradually, mixing it in to create a silky texture.
- Cook the bucatini in boiling salted water according to package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes for al dente.
- Reserve 2 cups of pasta water before draining the bucatini. Add it directly to the sauce to adjust its consistency if needed.
- Combine the drained bucatini with the sauce, tossing until the pasta is fully coated.
- Stir in the grated pecorino romano and parmesan cheeses, allowing them to melt into the mixture.
- Taste and season with salt and cracked black pepper as desired.
- Garnish with finely chopped scallions before serving.
Notes
For maximum flavor, allow the miso paste to bloom in the butter before adding the cream.
