National Pasta Day Gets a Little Miso Mischief

Heavy T’s miso carbonara with crispy guanciale, Pecorino and a drizzle of bright green scallion oil.

October 17 is National Pasta Day. Our miso carbonara keeps the guanciale, eggs and a little Pecorino, then adds white miso, gochugaru and bright green scallion oil.

Heavy T’s Miso Carbonara
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Serves: 2, easily scaled
Recipe: Make our miso carbonara

The key is gentle heat: temper the eggs with warm rendered fat, then use pasta water to bring everything into a glossy sauce. Pancetta or bacon can stand in for guanciale. Save the extra scallion oil for eggs, vegetables or your next bowl of noodles.
