Prepare your pasta based on instructions and cook till al dente.
In a pan, add mushroom, and pan-fry on medium heat for 2-3 minutes without any oil. The mushroom should get softer, and this will help bring out the aroma of the mushroom.
Next, add soy sauce, butter, black pepper, and garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
Once fragrant, add the miso paste, dashi powder, and cream or milk. Mix until thoroughly combined and simmer on low heat for 2 minutes.
Optional step: if you want the cream to be smooth without the cheese, you can now add in your cornstarch mixture two teaspoon cornstarch mixed with four tablespoons cold water.
Whisk in parmesan cheese, and add in the pasta. Mix all together until melted and sauce begins to thicken. Finish off with chopped parsley, and enjoy!
