    Introducing Creamy Red Pepper Gochujang Spaghetti (vegan). This is not your typical or traditional Italian pasta recipe. It has the addition of gochujang which is a Korean fermented chili paste. The gochujang adds rich umami flavor and pares deliciously with the red pepper.

    This pasta is so good. It is creamy thanks to coconut milk. Don't worry if you don't like coconut milk, you can't taste it but the coconut milk does add a nice subtle sweetness to this recipe. This pasta is flavorful and light, if you wanted to add some protein to it you could pair it with some beans or top it with hemp seeds.

    Let's get into the recipe.

    • easy to make
    • made with healthier ingredients
