One-pot miso parmesan pasta is a convenient and flavorful dish that minimizes cleanup while delivering a fusion of umami and creamy flavors! Tips: -Keep an eye on the liquid level. You may need to add more broth if it evaporates too quickly. Conversely, if there's too much liquid left when the pasta is done, you can simmer the dish uncovered for a few minutes to thicken the sauce. -Simmer, Don't Boil: Maintain a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil. Boiling too vigorously can cause the pasta to overcook and the sauce to reduce too quickly. -Try adding protein like chicken, sausage, or shrimp, and incorporate vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to make it a complete meal.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the pasta in the broth, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 10-12 minutes or according to the package instructions, until it's al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Step 6

Once the pasta is cooked, pour in the heavy cream, honey and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine, allowing the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken.

Step 7

Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. Be mindful of the salt as Parmesan cheese and miso paste are already salty. Honey will offset the saltiness. I used about 1/2 tsp but you can use up to 1 tsp of honey.

Step 8

Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more vegetable or chicken stock.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the sauce to further thicken.

Step 10

Serve the pasta in bowls, garnish with extra parmesan cheese and green onions if desired, and enjoy your delicious, one-pot meal.
