Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces pasta (I prefer spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini)
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon white miso
- 1/2 cup milk (I like oat milk for this recipe)
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
- 3/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese
- Garnish with parsley, red pepper flakes, and/or fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until just before it is al dente (we will cook the pasta even more in the sauce), and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
- When the pasta is nearly done cooking, melt the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and salt, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, miso, milk, and 1/2 cup of pasta water to the pan. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and allow everything to infuse for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese to the pan and mix continuously for 1-2 minutes until everything is emulsified and the mixture thickens.
- Serve with parsley, red pepper flakes, and/or fresh cracked black pepper, and enjoy your cozy meal!
