  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp chili crisp (or more to taste)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Roast the broccoli: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli with olive oil and salt, roast until tender. Smash and return for crispiness.
  2. Cook the pasta: Boil pappardelle until al dente, reserve pasta water, drain.
  3. Make the sauce: Melt butter, sauté garlic, add hoisin, honey, chili crisp, miso. Whisk in pasta water.
  4. Toss pasta: Combine pappardelle with sauce, season with pepper.
  5. Make soft-boiled eggs: Boil eggs for 6–7 mins, chill, peel.
  6. Assemble: Plate pappardelle, top with broccoli, egg halves. Add chili crisp, lemon.

Notes

  • Use chili garlic oil for more heat or soy sauce as a hoisin substitute.
  • Air-fry broccoli for a quicker option, pre-make eggs and store in the fridge.
