- minced ginger, 1 tbsp
- gochujang, 3 tbsp
- heavy cream, a little

Recipe 🍳
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt, and cook the pagelli pasta for 14 minutes.
- Cut the shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
- In a pan without oil, add 2 tbsp minced garlic and 1 tbsp minced ginger, and sauté over low heat until fragrant.
- When the garlic and ginger aroma rises, add 3 tbsp gochujang and sauté together to create the gochujang sauce base.
- Add the cooked pagelli pasta and the cut shrimp to the pan, and briefly toss to coat the sauce, tightening the pasta.
- Pour in enough pasta water to bathe the pasta, and cook so the gochujang sauce fully penetrates the pasta.
- When the liquid has reduced slightly, add heavy cream to achieve a smooth rosé hue, then season with chicken stock.
- Turn off the heat, add chopped chives and grated Parmesan cheese, and toss gently with residual heat. Serve.
- Cook the pagelli pasta and prepare the shrimp.
- In a pan, sauté minced garlic, minced ginger, and gochujang in order.
- Add the pasta and shrimp, stir-fry, then add pasta water and reduce the sauce.
- Adjust consistency and seasoning with heavy cream and chicken stock, then finish with chives and cheese.
Cooking tips 💡
- Stir-frying the pasta with the gochujang base first helps the pasta stay al dente and prevents it from becoming too soft.
- Unlike Italian style, avoid using too much olive oil to let the clean, spicy flavor of gochujang shine through.
