Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams Japanese noodles, Udon, Soba, or even spaghetti, (8 oz)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 150 grams Shimeji mushrooms, base discarded, mushrooms separated, (5 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons miso paste, or 3-4 anchovy fillets
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, or 2 teaspoons dried
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • cherry tomatoes, halved, optional

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions (I would use Fettuccine). Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over a low heat and add the garlic cloves. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Turn up the heat and add the Shimeji mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are soft. Lower the heat and add a ladle of cooking water from the noodles, the soy sauce, and the miso paste, if no miso paste, I would use 3-4 anchovy fillets mashed into a paste. Stir until the miso (or anchovies) is dissolved well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and bring the sauce to simmer.
  • Drain the noodles well and add them to the sauce. Stir well to coat every noodle and serve with chopped parsley sprinkled on top.

    Very easy and very good, on my Go-To list! No miso paste so I used a small tin of anchovies, about 200 grams of Shimeji mushrooms, and a handful of cherry tomatoes, perfect! Highly recommended.
