Spinach Linguine with Miso Butter Sauce

This ultra-flavorful butter sauce comes together while the pasta cooks.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. spinach linguine

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1/4 c miso

  • 3-4 green onions, green parts, sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to boil, and heavily salt. Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook until al dente, about 5 minutes.

  2. Prep Miso Butter Sauce: While water boils, heat butter in a sauce pan on low heat. Once butter melts, whisk in miso until miso-butter mixture is smooth.

  3. Dress the Pasta: Reserving a 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, drain pasta and add to pan with the vegetables. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water and continue cooking, while stirring, for a couple minutes to allow the sauce to reduce.

  4. Plate Pasta: Divide pasta into bowls, topping with sliced green onions.
