This giant fusilli pasta dish by @mymanabites is fun to eat and packed with flavor. The creamy gochujang sauce offers a delightful blend of spicy, savory, and slightly sweet notes. Topped with chives, furikake, and spicy mayo, this pasta is a comforting yet exciting meal.

Instructions

1
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the giant fusilli (colonne pompeii) until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1½ cups of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2
Meanwhile, in a large pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add chili flakes and garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes while stirring frequently.
3
Add the gochujang paste to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the paste darkens, about 3 minutes.
4
Add the reserved pasta water to the pan to deglaze, stirring to incorporate. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring to combine. If the sauce seems too thick, add more pasta water as needed.
5
Turn off the heat and add the cooked pasta to the pan, tossing to evenly coat the pasta with the sauce.
6
Serve the pasta with extra Parmesan on top. Garnish with fresh chives, furikake, and a drizzle of spicy mayo.
