    This Gochujang Mac & Cheese is a spicy, creamy twist on the comfort food classic. A garlicky butter base is infused with gochujang, the Korean chili paste that brings deep umami and just the right kick. Heavy cream and milk add richness, while a trio of mozzarella, Parmesan, and cheddar melts into the perfect gooey sauce. Tossed with al dente pasta and topped with more cheese and optional red pepper flakes, it’s bold, satisfying, and totally addictive.
