A touch of plain Greek yogurt imparts a bit of tang to cut the richness so that it sits in that perfect zone of being luscious without being heavy. Besides, the little protein bump from Greek yogurt in a meatless dish like this is bonus. While you can absolutely make this pasta with just one type of mushroom, using a mix of three or more varieties introduces varying flavours and textures that make this dish sing with a little bit more resonance.Note: Miso paste is staple in Japanese cuisine, made through a process of fermenting soy beans with salt, koji and often other ingredients such as rice. There is white, yellow and red miso paste. For this recipe, use white or yellow miso paste. Red miso paste will be too strong.
