Welcome, Saathee family!
I’m so excited to share one of my all-time favorite weeknight wonders with you – Miso Pasta that had my whole family drooling (yes, even the picky ones!). This vegetarian-friendly dish is rich, umami-packed, and comes together in minutes. It’s the perfect way to elevate pasta night without reaching for the usual jar of marinara. Think: restaurant-quality flavor, right from your own kitchen. Trust me, your tastebuds are in for a treat!

Ingredients
8 ounces spaghetti
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp white miso
1 cup pasta water
1 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
Black sesame seeds
8 cloves garlic minced
