This Cheesy Miso Ramen Ciao e Pepe recipe offers a delicious twist on traditional ramen by combining the rich, savory flavors of miso paste and a blend of Italian cheeses. With a creamy sauce made from butter, pecorino romano, and parmesan, and a peppery kick, this dish is ready in just 20 minutes, making it a perfect quick and indulgent meal for four servings.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package ramen noodles
  • 1/2 cup reserved ramen cooking water
  • 1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese, grated
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 3–4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Boil the ramen noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water before draining the noodles.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Sauce: In the same pot or a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the miso paste until it is fully dissolved and well combined with the butter.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Lower the heat and add the reserved ramen water to the melted butter and miso mixture, stirring to create a smooth sauce. Gradually add the pecorino romano and parmesan cheeses, stirring continuously until melted and creamy.
  4. Toss the Noodles: Add the cooked and drained ramen noodles back into the pot with the cheese and miso sauce. Mix thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
  5. Add Pepper and Serve: Sprinkle the freshly ground black pepper over the noodles and toss once more. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your creamy, cheesy miso ramen with a delightful peppery finish.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of black pepper based on your spice preference.
  • For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter and adjust salt accordingly.
  • You can substitute miso paste with white miso or yellow miso depending on your flavor preference.
  • Adding a soft boiled egg or sautéed vegetables can enhance the dish’s heartiness.
  • Reserve some ramen water carefully as it contains starch that helps thicken the sauce.
