Print Recipe

A quick and easy pasta dish featuring nutty brown butter, savory white miso, and crispy shallots, perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces radiatori pasta
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 3 medium shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 ounces of radiatori and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, thinly slice 3 medium shallots. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and fry gently, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt.
  3. In the same skillet, melt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat. Swirl the pan often as the butter foams and then turns a deep golden brown with a nutty aroma, roughly 4-5 minutes. Do not let it burn. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons white miso paste and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice until smooth.
  5. Add the drained radiatori to the skillet. Toss well to coat, adding reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to loosen the sauce and help it cling to the pasta.
  6. Adjust with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for freshness.
  7. Plate the pasta and sprinkle crispy shallots generously on top. Add grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to monitor butter browning. Slice shallots thinly for best crispiness. Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency. For gluten-free, substitute pasta accordingly. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter but note flavor difference.
