Ingredients
  

  • 200 g pasta
  • 2 small leeks
  • 1 small red onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp miso paste
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1/2 cup soy cream 120 ml
  • 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • Thyme to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the leeks and onions: Clean the leeks by removing one layer and separating the white and green parts. I use the whole leeks, I just remove the tougher green outer leaves. Chop all parts in slices. Chop the red onion into slices.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and red onions. Sauté for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized.
  • Cook the pasta: While the leeks and onions are cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until it is very al dente—about 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserve a couple of cups of pasta water before draining the pasta.
  • Make the crispy breadcrumbs: In a separate pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and thyme, stirring frequently. Toast for a few minutes until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn them. Once done, set them aside.
  • Prepare the creamy sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy cream with miso and mustard until well combined. Pour this mixture into the pan with the caramelized leeks and onions, stirring to coat everything evenly.
  • Combine everything: Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce, along with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Stir well and let everything cook together for a couple of minutes until the pasta is fully coated and has absorbed some of the sauce. If needed, add more pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve: Plate the pasta and sprinkle the crispy breadcrumbs on top for added texture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
