Spicy Gochujang Pasta
Spicy Gochujang Pasta is creamy, rich in flavor with a hint of heat from Chili Oil. It takes roughly 10 minutes to make with almost no prep work.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Pasta of your choice
- 2 tablespoon Gochujang Paste
- 2 tablespoon Chili Oil (I use my homemade chili oil)
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ Cup Heavy Cream
- Sesame seed for garnishing
Instructions
- Bring a lot of water to boil with generous amount of salt to boil the paste. When the water starts to boil, add the pasta and cook as per the time mentioned in the package. It will be typically 8 to 10 minutes.
- Simultaneously, place a heavy bottom skillet in medium heat and add the butter along with oil. Ass it melts, add the grated garlic and sauté for a few seconds.
- Add the gochujang paste and mix it around to soften the texture.
- Next add the chili oil and toss it around.
- Finally, pour the heavy cream and mix it to make a thick, creamy sauce.
- Add the boiled pasta and little of the paste water. Toss the boiled pasta to mix with the sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds if using and serve the warm pasta.
