Ingredients
Scale
1 lb spaghetti (or any type of pasta), 1/2 cup pasta water reserved
2 scallions, chopped, white and green parts divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup Gochujang paste (see Notes)
1/2 cup heavy cream (or half & half)
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt to taste
Instructions
In a large pot, bring salted water to boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions and reserve the pasta water, about 1/2 cup.
While the pasta is boiling, heat the olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Saute the white scallions and garlic for a minute to become fragrant. Add the gochujang paste and stir over heat to bring out the flavor, for about one additional minute. Add the heavy cream, butter, and honey to a simmer for a few minutes, stirring often. Add the pasta water to thin out the sauce if desired. Transfer the noodles to the sauce and toss to combine—salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat and top with parmesan and fresh parsley.
Notes
If you don't have Gochujang paste, try harissa paste or siracha sauce mixed with a little bit of honey or sugar to give sweetness. Gochujang paste may contain gluten, if you are gluten-sensitive please read the ingredients first.
If vegan, substitute the parmesan, butter, heavy cream, and honey. Use dairy-free cream, butter, and cheese for the dairy products. Use maple syrup for the honey.
If gluten-sensitive, please make sure the Gochujang paste is labeled gluten-free and double-check the ingredients as some pastes contain wheat. Substitute gluten-free pasta for the regular pasta in this recipe.
