Ingredients

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta until al dente, or about 1 minute short of the package time.
2. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
3. While the pasta cooks, saute the sliced garlic over medium heat in the olive oil.
4. When the garlic has softened slightly, add the gochujang.
5. Lower the heat and cook the gochujang in the oil to mellow the spice; the oil should turn a deep red.
6. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Return to medium heat and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half.
7. Add the cooked pasta and the reserved pasta water. Simmer until the sauce thickens and clings to the pasta.
8. Add the shrimp and stir to combine.
9. Lower the heat to low, stir in the parmesan, and finish with the butter to keep the sauce glossy.
10. Optionally add chives or Italian parsley, or a little more olive oil. Plate and top with extra grated parmesan.
