Creamy Gochujang Pasta

garlic

(50 grams) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese,

Kosher salt, to season

oz (180 grams) pappardelle (or fettuccini, spaghetti, etc.)

tbsp (42 grams) unsalted butter

(300 milliliters) heavy cream

(60 milliliters) reserved pasta water, plus more if needed

Korean chili paste (gochujang)

Korean chili pepper flakes (gochugaru)

oyster sauce

Finely chop the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the green onions, separating the whites and greens.

Grate about 1 cup (or 50 grams) of Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Combine all the seasonings in a small container and mix well. 

Prep Ingredients

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions or until al dente. (Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water.)

Cook Pasta

While the pasta is cooking, add 3 tablespoons of butter to a large pan over medium-low. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic and white parts of the green onions. Saute for 2 minutes or until they start to pick up a little bit of color.

Add the gochujang mixture. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir. Gently simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce gets a little bit thicker.

Add 1 cup of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Stir until everything is well combined. 

Use tongs to take out the pasta and add it to the sauce. Add about 1/4 cup (60ml) of the reserved pasta water and mix well. (If the sauce gets too thick, you can add a little bit more pasta water.)

Turn the heat off. Taste and add some salt to taste. Divide the pasta into serving bowls. Top with a few shakes of black pepper, green onions, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Enjoy!

Make Gochujang Pasta

This creamy gochujang pasta brings a Korean-inspired twist to your weeknight dinner. Gochujang’s unique blend of heat and sweetness, combined with rich heavy cream, creates a sauce that’s bold and exciting, but also comforting and indulgent. The addition of earthy mushrooms and Swiss chard adds texture and balance, making this dish satisfying without being overly heavy. As written, the recipe is vegetarian, but meat eaters can beef it up (pun intended) by adding their meat of choice. You can also easily adapt it to be dairy-free or gluten-free with simple swaps, making it as versatile as it is delicious. Best of all, it’s fast and satisfying—perfect for when you need something hearty but don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen.

noodles

oil (divided)

cremini mushrooms (sliced)

kosher salt

Swiss chard

gochujang

heavy cream

soy sauce

parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Cook the noodles al dente in salted water, according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the noodle cooking water.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin to brown.

Add the chard and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl or plate.

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and then add the garlic. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the gochujang and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute.

Stir in the cream and soy sauce and simmer until the mixture thickens a bit, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a splash of the reserved noodle cooking water to loosen the sauce a bit.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet and cook, tossing the noodles with tongs, Cok for about 2 more minutes, adding additional reserved pasta cooking water, a little at a time, to ensure the sauce coats the noodles well. Toss in the reserved chard and mushrooms and then stir in the Parmesan cheese.

Serve immediately, garnished with green onions, fried onions, crumbled bacon, or any other garnishes, as well as additional Parmesan cheese.
