Ingredients
- Linguine
- 8 ounces
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Mushrooms
- 8 ounces, sliced (shiitake, cremini, or a mix)
- White miso paste
- 3 tablespoons
- Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, grated
- Green onions
- 2, chopped
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Salt
- to taste (for pasta water)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the linguine. Set it aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste and soy sauce until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, incorporate a tablespoon of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the miso-soy mixture to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir to combine, allowing the flavors to meld for about 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat in the miso-mushroom mixture. If the pasta appears dry, add additional reserved pasta water a little at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Serve the pasta hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, and a generous sprinkle of black pepper.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes while cooking the mushrooms.
- Feel free to substitute the linguine with gluten-free pasta if desired.
- Experiment with different types of mushrooms for varied textures and flavors, such as oyster or portobello.
