How to Make Vegan Gochujang Pasta Recipe

This spicy gochujang vegan pasta – spaghetti to be specific takes just 15 minutes to bring together and make the most delicious and easy meal. It’s perfect to add loads of flavour to a recipe with just a few ingredients. You only need 6 ingredients to make this recipe, but feel free to add more veg such as spinach, peppers, fried tofu to make this a slightly more nutritious dish.

This recipe was HEAVILY inspired by the incredible recipe creator DoobyDoBap,  the recipe’s aren’t vegan but I find them so inspiring when creating recipes.

What Ingredients are needed to make this vegan recipe?

Gochujang- A spicy Korean paste made from sun-dried chillies packed with flavour, naturally vegan friendly and absolutely delicious. You don’t usually see this paired with pasta so it’s a hybrid recipe to say the least.

Spaghetti- You can use spaghetti as shown, but feel free to use any pasta you have at hand. Anything that will take all of this delicious flavour.

Vegan Single Cream- In America you would call this half and half cream. This one is from from Asda, but you could use Elmea, Oatly, Alpro etc…

Fresh Basil- This is an important piece to bring the recipe together, it gives a delicious fragrant flavour.

Cooking Tips:

Pasta Water- This step is important if you want delicious glossy pasta, add around 150-200ml of pasta cooking water to the gochujang mix. It’s full of starchy goodness that will give a gorgeous gloss and thickness to the sauce.

Garlic and Shallots- The only chopping you’ll need for this recipe, chop fine and cook on a low heat to ensure you don’t burn them.
