INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR THIS RECIPE
Gochujang paste- Is a spicy Korean paste made from sun dried chilies packed with flavor, delicious and vegan friendly.
Pasta- I have used spaghetti pasta but you can use any pasta of your choice.
Coconut Cream- Adding coconut cream makes this pasta creamy and vegan friendly. If you are not vegan you can use heavy cream instead.
Fresh Chives- This adds fresh flavor to this recipe. But feel free to add fresh basil instead of chives.
IMPORTANT TIPS
Add pasta water for delicious glossy pasta, add around half cup of pasta cooking water to the gochujang sauce. It’s full of starchy goodness that will give a gorgeous gloss and thickness to the sauce.
I have use fresh chives but feel free to use basil or any other dry or fresh herbs of your choice.
