Tasty Tips
Gochujang is a flavorful fermented Korean chili pepper paste available online or in the Asian sauce section of a well-stocked grocery store.
This recipe is a Korean-inspired interpretation of the classic Roman dish, cacio e pepe. The creamy cheese mixture helps to tame the fiery heat of the gochujang.
