Make Butter Pasta Way Better Using Only A Couple Of Ingredients
BY CLAUDIA ALARCÓN
It’s hard to go wrong when making comforting buttered pasta. Just boil, butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, but if you add two ingredients, you can elevate it to gourmet.
Miso, in all its variations, is a versatile ingredient that serves as a flavor enhancer and adds an extra kick of umami to just about everything.
Like other hard, aged cheeses, Parmesan cheese contains a good amount of glutamates, the compounds that create flavor and are responsible for the umami sensation.
Combining the two with the fatty richness of butter is a serious match made in heaven. Mix them into a bowl of perfectly cooked noodles, and you'll have a life-changing experience.
