Was today a good day? Work was okay, the family was okay, lunch and breakfast… just okay. How do we kick this day up to at least “good?” This super-umami bonanza will upgrade your day game and then some. Two kinds of mushrooms, nutty Parmesan, savory miso, and all the comforting pasta that can fit in a bowl. This meal elevates your day to good whether or not there's smog, barking from the dog, or breakfast cooked for you without hog. Tip: Why remove the stems of shiitake? Those stems are too woody and fibrous to eat.

Customize It Instructions

  • Meat lovers! If using chicken, pat dry and cut into 1" dice on a separate cutting board. Season all over with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir occasionally with 2 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat until no pink remains, 4-6 minutes. If using ground pork, combine with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Break into small pieces with a spoon until no pink remains, 5-7 minutes. Top pasta with proteins, or enjoy on the side.
