Author Notes
Inspired by Bon Appetit's "Ramen Noodles with Miso Pesto" Recipe.
As private chefs, often times our most ingenious recipes come from the ingredients we find lingering in the corner of the fridge or at the bottom of the crisper. Even more often they utilize the blender. This recipe really takes advantage of extra miso and tahini along with lots of leftover herbs. There's almost nothing better than a delicious meal you can throw together with things you have lying around. Some might even call it magical! This recipe is simple, yet insanely flavorful and fulfilling, and comes together in about the amount of time it takes to boil water. —What We Eat Gals
