Description

This creamy, savory miso pasta sauce offers a unique twist on traditional Italian dishes. By combining yellow miso with aromatic scallions and garlic, you create a deeply flavorful, umami-packed base that is surprisingly light. The sauce is naturally dairy-free and vegan, making it an excellent option for plant-based diets without sacrificing richness. It comes together quickly, perfect for busy weeknights when you crave comfort food. The subtle sweetness of the miso balances the sharpness of the garlic, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors. Serve over your favorite pasta for a satisfying, restaurant-quality meal at home.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat safflower oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped scallions and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  3. Transfer the sautéed scallion and garlic mixture to a medium bowl.
  4. Add the yellow miso to the bowl.
  5. Slowly pour in the warmed vegetable stock while stirring continuously until the miso is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Toss the sauce with cooked pasta until evenly coated.

Note

If you prefer a thinner sauce, add additional warm vegetable stock one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Do not boil the miso sauce after adding it to the stock, as high heat can kill the beneficial probiotics in miso and alter its delicate flavor.

For a richer texture, you can blend the sauce with an immersion blender after mixing the miso and stock.

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of water if it thickens too much.
