Ingredients

  • 6 ounces rigatoni with reserved pasta water
  • 10 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small yellow onion minced
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
Garnish:
  • Parmesan freshly grated
  • Chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, about 12 minutes. Reserve some pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the gochujang paste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it deepens slightly in color.
  4. Pour in the cream. Stir until the gochujang is fully incorporated. Season with salt and sugar. Let the sauce gently simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the butter until melted.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce. Toss to coat, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  6. Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped walnuts. Enjoy!
