Miso-Leek Pasta
with Roasted Garlic & Calabrian Breadcrumbs
Calabrian chiles from southern Italy have a smoky, slightly fruity flavor and medium-high heat level. Balanced by creamy cashew cheese and cream cheese, they add just the right amount of spice to this pasta's crispy breadcrumb topping. Sweet, slightly nutty sherry vinegar and peppery arugula turn this pasta supper into a true show-stopper.
