How to make Creamy Miso Pasta
Tips from the cook
- Let the mushrooms sit on one side so they brown; don't toss them too early or too often.
- Sauté the garlic and shallot on medium or medium-low heat, so the butter doesn't burn.
- 120 ml of cream is enough for 4; add more to taste, and as much pasta water as it takes to cling.
- Don't skip the nori: it is part of the flavour of the dish.
