This simple, flavorful bowl of spaghetti starts off in the same way a French onion soup does: with lots of onions. Instead of spending the better part of an hour getting cooked down in a skillet to get the same sweet-savory depth, these onions get kissed with umami-rich miso to achieve big flavor fast. The miso-caramelized onions melt into the stock, resulting in a silky sauce that coats every inch of the pasta. We love spaghetti for this, but any long noodle will work just fine.
