Instructions

Preheat oven to 415°F. Cut the top off a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 50–60 minutes until soft.

Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

In a skillet, melt butter with a splash of olive oil over medium heat.

Squeeze roasted garlic into the skillet and mash. Cook for a minute until fragrant.

Add gochujang and mix well into the butter-garlic base.

Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Season with salt, pepper, chili flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and basil.

Add Parmesan and mozzarella cheese and stir until melted.

Add cooked pasta and a splash of pasta water. Stir to coat evenly. Add more cream if desired.

Serve with a ball of burrata on top and enjoy hot.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Roast Garlic Perfectly 🧄
Wrap the entire garlic head in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil to ensure even, caramelized roasting without burning.
Gochujang Emulsion Technique 🌶️
Whisk the gochujang into the cream slowly to create a smooth, even sauce that prevents clumping and ensures consistent spice distribution.
Pasta Water Magic 💧
Reserve at least 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining, as it's crucial for adjusting sauce consistency and helping the sauce cling to the pasta.
Burrata Placement Pro 🧀
Add the burrata just before serving and tear it gently over the hot pasta to create beautiful, creamy pockets that melt slightly but retain their fresh texture.
Spice Balance Trick 🔥
Start with a smaller amount of gochujang and gradually add more to control the heat level, tasting as you go to achieve your perfect spice balance.
