Hearty Mushroom and Tuna Spaghetti Recipe

by Hadley Sui

Miso Marinated Tuna Spaghetti

Cozy up on a chilly evening with this swoon-worthy blend of tuna simmered in miso, thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms, and the deeply satisfying flavor of Hon Tsuyu soup broth. You’ll want to keep this recipe handy for weeknight meals. It’s a perfect shared dish for a date night in or a warming meal while watching your current favorite tv series with your roommates.

Feel free to add a protein to the recipe, such as shrimp or tofu. You can also try swapping in soba noodles or Tiger rice noodles for the spaghetti for slightly different textures. You’ll be going back for seconds, so luckily this recipe has ample portions!

Tiger Rice Noodles

For added flavor, I recommend topping this dish with Kuze Fuku Enoki Mushrooms with Seven Japanese Spices spread, one of my latest discoveries from Bokksu Market. I’ve been using it on everything lately, and I love incorporating multiple mushroom varieties into the same dish! The spread’s complex flavors work so well to tie together the other various elements of this warming pasta.
