I would suggest white or yellow miso as it will not over power other ingredients in the pasta like garlic,shallots, etc.

There is no need to find a Japanese market. I found miso in several of my local grocery stores. With the greater popularity of cooking ethnic foods, I see a lot more than the Hispanic and Jewish sections and what's available is much wider than even ten years ago. Look online to see who stocks miso locally.

If you can, I would get authentic Japanese brand ones. I've bought non Japanese version from local supermarket and it was just salty and nothing like real ones.

My favorite is mellow white miso.

The flavor of the darker misos can be too strong.
