Ingredients

1 box (450 g) Italpasta Artisan Radiatori
1/4 cup (60 mL) butter divided
1 lb (500 g) sliced mixed mushrooms
3 tbsp (45 mL) white miso paste divided
3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup (125 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
3 green onions thinly sliced
2 tbsp (30 mL) tobiko (optional)
1 tbsp (15mL) furikake seasoning

Instructions

Cook radiatori according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup (125 mL) pasta cooking liquid; drain pasta.
Meanwhile, in large skillet set over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter. Cook mushrooms and 1 tbsp (15 mL) miso paste for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Transfer to plate.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt remaining butter in skillet. Cook garlic for 30 to 60 seconds or until softened and fragrant. Add pasta, remaining miso paste, reserved pasta cooking liquid and Parmesan; toss and stir until well combined, and sauce thickens and clings to pasta well.
Divide pasta among plates and top each with crispy mushrooms, green onions, tobiko (if using) and furikake seasoning.

Tips

Cremini mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms all work well in this recipe. Use a medley, or, if preferred, use a single variety of mushroom instead.

Often used as a garnish in sushi, tobiko is a fish roe like caviar, but less expensive. It has a wonderful sea-salty flavour. It can be found in Japanese grocers, online and in most well-stocked supermarkets.

Japanese furikake seasoning is a savoury blend of nori, toasted sesame seeds and spices. It can be found in Japanese grocers, online and in most well-stocked supermarkets.
