Pasta With Miso, Parmesan and Pickled Peppers

Pasta With Miso, Parmesan and Pickled Peppers
David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Hadas Smirnoff.

Recipe by Melissa Clark | Total time: 20 minutes

A little miso paste and a dash of soy sauce add umami complexity to this simple garlicky pantry pasta, while using pickled peppers, instead of the usual chile flakes, lends acidity as well as heat. Mild white miso works best here, integrating seamlessly with the other flavors. But you can substitute yellow or red miso if that’s what you have on hand; just take care when adding extra salt, tasting as you go.
