Done in one: Silky miso pasta

Six ingredients are all you need for this simple one-pot pasta. Silky strands are coated in a buttery miso sauce that explodes with flavour.

SERVES 4

  • 400g dried spaghetti
  • 55g white miso paste
  • 50g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 80g finely grated parmesan, plus extra to serve
  • 140g baby spinach leaves
  • furikake, to serve (see Tip)
  • Cook the spaghetti in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 8 minutes or until al dente.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving 375ml of the pasta water. Add the miso to this pasta water in the pan and whisk until the miso has dissolved.
  • Return the pasta to the pan and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until the pasta is coated in the sauce.
  • Remove from the heat, add the butter and mix to coat. Stir the parmesan and baby spinach through.
  • Serve the pasta topped with furikake and finely grated parmesan.

TIP Furikake is a Japanese seasoning typically made from sesame seeds, nori, salt and sugar. Replace it with shredded nori sheets and sesame seeds, if you like.
