After the daily grind is done, nothing says comfort like a steaming bowl of pasta (bonus points if there’s cheese involved). And, if you’re wanting to get as close to food heaven as possible, then you’re going to need my secret fusion pasta ingredient. That’s right: miso. This wonder paste brings so much unexpected flavour and umami – it’s a total vibe. So, without further ado, here are my ultimate miso pasta recipes. Enjoy!

Weeknight Beef Stroganoff
Not your typical beef stroganoff, my weeknight recipe uses surprise (then again, you’re reading an article on miso pasta recipes, so how much of a surprise are you after?) Asian ingredients to pump up the volume on the savoury scale. And that steak? So tender and as far from tough and grey as you can get.
Creamy Mac ’n’ Four-Cheese
If cheese is your weakness, this dish is your full-on Kryptonite. It’s gloriously gooey, oozy and moreish, and I guarantee if you serve this up at your dining table, you’re going to end up with deliriously happy diners.
