CREAMY MISO PASTA WITH BACON & ZUCCHINI RECIPE

As I learned from making more than 80 miso soup recipes, milk and miso are one of the best combination.
I would like to adopt this into today’s recipe.

Pasta is my favorite menu for lunch because it’s easy, quick, and delicious!
But sometimes it’s tough to cook it at a wide variety because I make pasta 2 or 3 days a week…

On those occasions, milk pasta saves me!
Perhaps some people think heavy cream is crucial for cream pasta, but milk and miso can create absolutely delicious cream sauce too.
I guess it’s also lower calorie and good for your body.

Miso is savory but at the same time it makes pasta so mild and gives rich flavor.
Please enjoy this new type of cream pasta!
