Ingredients:
400 g (14oz) pasta shapes or spaghetti I like rigatoni
1 tbsp oil
1 onion peeled and finely diced
5 cloves garlic peeled and minced
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
3 tbsp gochujang paste
3 tbsp tomato puree (paste in USA)
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce light or all-purpose
100 g (1 cup) Parmesan, grated/shredded
120 ml (1/2 cup) double (heavy) cream
1 tbsp unsalted butter
To Serve:
Small bunch of spring onions scallions finely chopped
Grated/shredded parmesan
Sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Boil the pasta in a large pan of water for 1 minute less than the pack instructions. Once cooked drain and reserve around 500ml (or approx. 2 imperial cups) of the pasta water.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat.
3. Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
4. Add the garlic, salt and pepper and stir together for 30 seconds.
5. Add the gochujang, tomato puree and soy sauce. Cook for two minutes, stirring often.
6. Add the Parmesan and cream and stir together.
7. By now the pasta should be ready. Drain the pasta, reserving around 500ml (or approx. 2 imperial cups) of the pasta cooking water.
8. Add half of the pasta cooking water to the pan and stir with the gochujang. Add the pasta and the butter to the pan too.
9. Toss the pasta in the sauce and allow to cook together for one minute, so the pasta is well coated in the sauce. Add more pasta water if you wish to loosen up the sauce further.
10. Divide between four bowls and top with spring onions (scallions), Parmesan and sesame seeds.
