Creamy Miso Mushroom Pasta

Bon Appetit most-saved pasta of the week - umami-packed mushrooms sauteed with garlic and white wine, tossed with a miso-butter cream sauce, Parmesan, and a splash of soy sauce over fettuccine.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz egg-based pasta (fettuccine)
  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms (crimini, maitake, oyster, or shiitake), sliced
  • 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp white miso paste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 oz Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, about 1 minute less than package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high. Add mushrooms and 1/2 tsp salt, toss to coat. Cook undisturbed until liquid releases, 2-3 minutes, then continue cooking until moisture evaporates and edges brown, 6-8 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add garlic and remaining 1 Tbsp oil; cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add white wine, scrape up browned bits, cook until mostly evaporated, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; add butter and miso, stir until melted. Add cream and soy sauce; simmer 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with pepper.
  4. Transfer pasta to skillet with 1 cup pasta water. Simmer, tossing constantly, until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add Parmesan, toss well. Serve with more Parmesan and pepper.
