Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions, celery, and carrots for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but don't let it brown.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  4. Pour in the dry sherry and deglaze the pot, cooking down for 8-10 minutes until reduced by half.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and miso paste until smooth. Pour into the pot and bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk and black pepper, cooking uncovered for another 10 minutes until thickened.
  7. Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine in salted water according to package instructions, around 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
  8. Drain the fettuccine and add to the sauce, tossing to coat. Use reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
