Ingredients
8 oz dry fusilli corti bucati or bucatini pasta (any pasta shape works)
2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili pepper paste)
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
4 tbsp salted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup shredded parmesan or cheddar cheese
½ cup heavy cream
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper (optional)
2 tsp chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Pasta Preparation
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Salt the water if desired.
Add pasta and cook according to package directions (about 7–12 minutes) until al dente.
Drain pasta and set aside.
Gochujang Cream Sauce
Heat butter and olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.
Add garlic (and black pepper if using) and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
Stir in gochujang, heavy cream, and shredded cheese. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until fully coated.
Transfer to plates, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust gochujang to taste for more or less heat.
Parmesan adds sharp umami flavor, while cheddar makes the sauce extra creamy.
Add shrimp, bacon, or mushrooms for a heartier version.
