Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook 12 ounces bucatini according to package directions until just al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and set aside. Drain the pasta.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 6 ounces butter and 3 cloves minced garlic. Cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add ¼ cup miso and the pasta water. Whisk the sauce until smooth.
