Brown Butter Miso Gnocchi
Brown butter and miso is a combination that more of us need to know about and use in our cooking. They’re so versatile together–use it to level up any sweet or savory dish. I love using this combination in my pasta sauces–the brown butter is nutty and sweet, while the miso brings body to the sauce along with salt and umami. All it’s missing is some starchy pasta water, parmesan, and cold butter to get the perfect, thick, emulsified sauce. I made gnocchi from scratch for this dish, but it’s not necessary. You can buy the premade kind or even use regular pasta. Mushrooms are definitely a necessity too, I love the earthiness they bring–they fit right into the flavor profile of the sauce. If you’re looking for a new pasta dish to make, THIS IS IT.
