Vegan-Friendly Miso Pasta
This one-pot miso pasta is brimming with an unique depth of flavours, chief among them savoury shades of umami! The recipe is vegan-friendly - simply swap out the parmesan for vegan parm or more nutritional yeast for a completely plant-based option.
Ingredients
- 250 gm spaghetti/ pasta of choice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp miso
- ⅓ -½ cup parmesan (alternatively use vegan parmesan)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast + more for sprinkling
- ½ - 1 cup pasta water (as required)
- furikake (for garnish)
Instructions
- Add pasta to a boiling pot of salted water Cook until just shy of al dente. Drain reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
- Heat oil in a non-stick skillet. Add the miso along with about half a cup of pasta water, stirring to break down/ emulsify the miso.
- Add the pasta, continuously tossing so that it is coated with the miso sauce.
- Add the parmesan and nutritional yeast (and up to ½ cup of more pasta water if required), continuing to toss with tongs so that the cheese melts, with both the parmesan and nutritional yeast uniformly combining into a sauce which is smooth and glossy.
- Serve hot off the skillet with a seasoning of furikake and more nutritional yeast on top along with wilted greens (optional)
