Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. linguine (or fettucine)
  • 6 oz. portobello mushroom caps
  • 4 tablespoon butter (salted)
  • 3 scallions (green onions, plus additional for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoon white miso paste (1.4 oz.)
  • black pepper (ground, to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Start a large pot of water to boil over high heat.
  • While the water comes to a boil, prepare the vegetables. First, slice the portobello mushroom caps in half and then into thin slices. Then, cut both the green and white parts of the scallions into 2-inch sections from top to bottom. Slice each section vertically into thin strips so that you end up with finely shredded scallion pieces.
  • When the water is boiling, add the linguine and cook it one less than the recommended time on the package.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
  • Add one tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt.
  • Add the mushrooms and sauté them for 5 minutes, or until they have released any moisture and are starting to brown.
  • Microwave three tablespoons of butter in a medium bowl to melt it completely. Add the miso paste to the butter and stir it a bit.
  • Add the scallions to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes until they are softened.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.
  • Whisk the pasta water into the miso and butter mixture slowly until you get a smooth texture.
  • Add the pasta and the miso and butter mixture to the skillet with the mushrooms and stir the pasta with tongs to evenly coat it with the sauce, mushrooms, and scallions.
  • Transfer the pasta to a serving plate and serve immediately. Garnish, as desired, with sliced scallions and freshly ground black pepper.
