Ingredients:
- 8 oz pasta (linguine, fettuccine, or your fave noodle vibe)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 2β3 cups mixed mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, oyster = dreamy)

- Parmesan or nutritional yeast (optional for extra depth)
- Fresh parsley or chives to garnish πΏ
Instructions:
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve some pasta water before draining.

- Deglaze with wine or broth if using. Stir in miso paste β let it melt into the goodness.
- Add cream and stir gently. Simmer for a couple minutes until slightly thickened.
