Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound radiatore

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 large garlic clove -- pressed

1 lemon -- juice and zest of

2 teaspoons white miso paste

1/3 cup water

3 yellow tomatoes -- chopped, up to 4

(2 to 2 1/2 cups)

2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

salt and freshly ground white pepper

 

Radiatore, or " little radiators, " are used in this light and lively pasta

dish made with fresh yellow tomatoes. Miso, a concentrated soybean paste,

adds a salty richness to this sauce. A traditional Japanese ingredient

used to make soups and enrich sauces and dressings, miso is a blend of

fermented soybeans and grains that is said to have many health

benefits. It is available at natural foods stores.

 

Cook the radiatore in a large pot of salted boiling water, stirring

occasionally, until it is al dente, about 8 minutes. While the pasta is

cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic

and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to very low, and

stir in lemon juice and zest. Blend the miso into the hot water until

smooth and stir it into the sauce. Add the tomatoes and keep warm over low

heat. When the pasta is cooked, drain it and place in a serving bowl. Add

the sauce, chives, salt and white pepper to taste, and toss gently to

combine. Serve immediately
