Creamy Miso Spaghetti
Look in your fridge and pantry. Consider how your spices, herbs, and sauces have changed from a decade ago. For me, the presence of Asian ingredients is a stand-out. One of those ingredients is Miso paste. It can be found at most mainstream supermarkets here (Toronto) and surely at the many Asian markets in the city.
Miso is a fermented soy bean paste and I’ve used it in a few dishes. It keeps for awhile in your fridge. It’s one of the ingredients for this pasta dish. I first read about this dish in the New York Times.
Over in Japan, a genre of cooking called “wafu” (meaning Japanese style) has made its way to the west. Quite often they are Italian dishes cooked with a Japanese approach or combining Asian and Italian ingredients. Think Udon Carbonara, Wafu Italian Meatballs, Cacio & Pepi Gyoza.
You need to boil some pasta for this dish. Save some pasta water after boiling. Add the remaining ingredients to the cooked pasta and stir until combined. A fantastic, delicious and quick meal ideal for a weeknight meal.
Gather your scallions or chives, miso paste, butter, and cream. Add a garnish of thinly sliced nori. In my instance, I used furikake because that’s what I had in my cupboard. Let’s cook!
