We revisited our miso pasta dough from *Ideas in Food: Great Recipes and Why They Work*. We substituted barley miso for the white miso we usually use. The noodles took on a dark color and rich aroma. The barley miso changed the perception experience of the noodles from light and delicate to full-bodied and hearty. Even in their evolution, the noodles remained subtly intense. The flavors and aromas build as you savor them, one bite at a time. The barley pasta is better suited to the frigid weather we were experiencing. It will stand up nicely to a variety of braised meats and roasted vegetable sauces, enhancing their flavor while still retaining their own character in the dish.
