"Cacio e pepe is an already delicious thing, there’s no denying that. However, the addition of white miso helps create an even more velvety, savory, foolproof sauce that comes together in just about 5 minutes in one pan. The salty, rich, peppery flavor of the sauce is a perfect foil to the subtly sweet squash noodles, but of course you could boil up your favorite pasta or other noodle (ramen noodles or rigatoni could be interesting here) to swirl into the sauce; just add a tablespoon or two of pasta- or noodle-cooking water in addition. If you don’t have a spiralizer to make the squash noodles in a snap, you can also use a vegetable peeler, julienne peeler, or mandoline."
