Directions

  • 1

    In medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water and Roasted Chicken Base to a boil; reduce heat and keep at a simmer.

  • 2

    Add butter to a large high-sided skillet set over medium heat. Swirl skillet for 2 to 3 minutes or until butter stops frothing, turns a light brown color and smells fragrant (like toasted hazelnuts). Add green onions and garlic. Cook for 1 minute.

  • 3

    Add pasta and stir to coat in brown butter. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes to toast the noodles.

  • 4

    Pour 2 cups simmering broth into skillet. Cook, stirring, until the liquid reduces to 1 cup. Continue to add broth 1 cup at a time, stirring often, and cooking until half the liquid is absorbed, pasta is tender and mixture is creamy and saucy.

  • 5

    Stir in gochujang, vinegar, maple syrup and miso paste. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through.

  • 6

    Serve pasta in bowls and garnish with Parmesan and chives.

Tip: Substitute rigatoni with penne if preferred.
