👩‍🍳 Tips

• Customize the level of spiciness: Gochujang is a spicy paste, so adjust the amount to suit your preferences. If you like spicy dishes, feel free to add an extra spoonful. If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount.
• Don't overcook pasta: Be sure to cook pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly in the sauce. This will prevent the pasta from becoming too soft, and keep your dish beautifully textured.
• Add toppings for added flavor: To add freshness and texture to your dish, don't hesitate to garnish your creamy gochujang pasta with fresh herbs like coriander or nut chips like crushed peanuts. This will add a touch of color and crunch to your dish.
