# How to Make It:
01 - Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
02 - While pasta cooks, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
03 - Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in mushrooms. Sauté for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
04 - Lower heat to medium. Stir in miso paste, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard, mixing well to coat the mushrooms.
05 - Pour in vegetable broth and smoked paprika, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
06 - Reduce heat to low. Add sour cream and stir gently until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not boil.
07 - Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, adding reserved pasta water as needed for a silky sauce. Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra black pepper.
