Gochujang Spaghetti with Fresh Mozzarella
This Gochujang Spaghetti with Fresh Mozzarella is a spicy, creamy fusion pasta that blends Korean heat with Italian comfort. A base of garlic, butter, and gochujang creates a bold, savory foundation, while heavy cream smooths it out into a rich, indulgent sauce. Fresh mozzarella melts into the sauce for extra creaminess, and a final touch of Parmesan and basil ties everything together. Topped with extra mozz and Parm, this dish is bold, cheesy, and deeply satisfying—a must-try twist on spicy pasta night.
