Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces fettuccine or pasta of choice
  • ½ cup pasta water
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 heaping tablespoon miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
  • salt and white pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon scallion thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Cook the fettuccine in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet on medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté shiitake mushrooms for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Season with salt and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  • Toss in the pasta and mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the noodles.
  • Top with more parmesan cheese, scallions, and sesame seeds if desired.
