Equipment

Ingredients

Noodles & Compound Butter

  • 6 oz pasta of your choice
  • 2 tbsp room temperature butter
  • 1 tbsp white or yellow miso paste
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp sugar

Optional Garnishes

  • Chili crunch
  • Black pepper
  • Parmesan
  • Scallions

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the room temperature butter with miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Mix until roughly combined. It’s fine if the mixture is slightly chunky.
  • Boil your pasta one minute before al dente, then drain but do not rinse.
  • Immediately add the hot pasta to the miso butter mixture and toss until the sauce clings to every strand and forms a glossy coating.
  • Serve in a bowl and optionally top with chili crunch, black pepper, parmesan, and scallions.
