Sweet, spicy, and salty pasta sauce made with gochujang and miso paste. It’s a dollar lunch club crowd favorite that we just call “red pasta.” Everyone loves it! Make sure to check whether your gochujang is gluten free if accommodating allergies.

Recipe

- Add tomato paste, diced tomatoes, coconut milk, gochujang, and miso. Stir in stock/pasta water.
- Allow sauce to simmer for 30 minutes, until flavors meld and it has thickened. If sauce thickens too much add additional stock or pasta water until consistency of marinara.
- Cook pasta according to directions while sauce is simmering, and drain, reserving pasta water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Toss pasta in oil and return to pot.
- Stir sauce into pasta and serve with chopped scallions.
