Gochujang Pasta Pasta

20240523 #breakfastdiary 1065, 17°C/sunny There's fun in slightly twisting recipes you've picked up. Like today's breakfast — using mint instead of basil and discovering the flavor combo of gochujang + mint~ Honestly, Archimedes-level 'eureka' discoveries like this happen all the time during breakfast hour. #gochujangpasta with mint In a pan, sauté 2 [parts] butter with sliced garlic. (A mandoline makes slicing garlic easier, though of course it burns fast so keep an eye on it.) Mix in 1 [part] milk, 1 [part] gochujang, and 1 [part] each of honey and vinegar to make the sauce. Add the salted, boiled pasta to the sauce, then add 1 [part] butter, a good splash of pasta water, and a little milk, and mix a bit more. No basil today, so I substitute mint. Finish with pepper.
