About the Recipe

If that's what you're thinking, you're wrong. Miso works very well with a range of western foods and in this dish, you'll get a great depth of flavour form the miso, olive oil and the parmesan cheese. If you want even greater flavour complexity, add some wasabi rocket leaves as I did here.

Ingredients

180-200g spaghetti


2 medium onions


5 cloves garlic


35g unsalted butter


2 tbsp miso


1.5 tbsp soy sauce


1 tin (145g net) tuna


15g wasabi rocket or rocket leaves


a pinch of pepper


50g shredded parmesan cheese

Preparation

peel, halve and finely chop the onions


peel and finely chop the garlic 


finely chop the rocket leaves


melt the butter in a frying pan, add the onion & garlic and fry with the  lid on over a medium heat for 15 mins, stirring occasionally


while the onion & garlic is cooking, bring a sauce pan of water to the boil, add the spaghetti and cook according to the packet


when the onion & garlic is ready, add the drained tuna and mix together well over a low heat, then add the soy sauce & miso and mix well again (keep the heat low, you don’t want the miso to cook)


drain the spaghetti, add it to the pan and mix together well


your miso tuna spaghetti is ready


place 1/2 the spaghetti on a plate, top with 1/2 the rocket and sprinkle with 1/2 the parmesan. repeat for the second serving
