Pasta with a creamy spicy sauce made with pork sausage meat, gochujang and cream. A quick and easy meal with not too many ingredients.
Ingredients
For the pasta I use fusilli, because I like how the sauce sticks to the little ridges. You can use any preferred pasta shape though. For the sausage I use plain seasoned pork bratwurst from the supermarket. You can buy gochujang (Korean pepper paste), gochugaru (Korean pepper flakes) and (cooking) sake at Asian supermarkets that sells Korean products.
Used materials
- Pasta pot
- Saute pan or large skillet
- Spatula
- Kitchen scales
- Microplane grater
- Measuring cups
Make ahead
I always cook and eat creamy pasta dishes on the same day as they usually don’t keep well. If you don’t want to cook everything right before serving, you could make the sauce right up to adding the cream. Then just before serving you only have to warm everything through with the cream, cook the pasta and top it with freshly grated cheese.
