Ingredients
- 4 cups rigatoni pasta or pasta of choice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 shallots sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2½ tablespoons Gochujang or more if you'd like it spicier
- 1 cup half and half or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter optional
- parmesan
- sesame seeds garnish
- green onions garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, boil water with salt and follow the package instructions to cook the pasta al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
- While the pasta is cooking, place a large skillet with sesame oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute for a minute.
- Add the gochujang to the skillet and give it a stir for 15 to 20 seconds to help release some of the aroma of the gochujang.
- Add the half & half or cream to the skillet and stir until the gochujang and half & half are fully incorporated. Simmer on low for a minute. (Do not boil)
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Add the butter if using. If the pasta seems dry, you can add a couple of tablespoons of reserved pasta water at a time until the consistency of the sauce and pasta is to your liking.
- Stir in some shaved parmesan. Top with additional shaved parmesan before serving. Garnish as desired.
