Miso aubergine linguine

Miso adds a delicious umami flavour to this pasta dish. Take care not to overheat the créme fraîche, as its lower fat content makes it prone to splitting

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 aubergine, cut into 2cm dice
  • 5 spring onions, sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
  • 1½ tbsp miso paste (we used Yutaka)
  • 150g linguine (or other long pasta)
  • 100g lighter crème fraîche
  • 20g Parmesan*, finely grated
  • small handful finely chopped parsley

Step by step

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the aubergine and a good pinch of salt and fry over a high heat until it softens and turns golden brown; 6-8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add most of the spring onions and all of the garlic and fry for 2 minutes, stirring.
  2. Meanwhile, add the linguine to a pan of boiling water and cook following pack instructions. Reserve a ladleful of the pasta water then drain.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, add the miso and crème fraîche to the aubergine and warm through. Add the drained pasta, Parmesan and most of the parsley. Stir in just enough of the reserved pasta water to give the sauce a coating consistency.
  4. Divide the pasta between shallow bowls and top with the remaining spring onions, parsley and a crack of black pepper. *Use vegetarian cheese if required.
