Ingredients
To cook pasta:
- 150 g pasta of your choice I used Tagliatelle
- 1.5 l water
Saute:
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for a dairy-free alternative, skip butter or sub with vegan butter
- 1 shallot diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 green chilli finely chopped
Sauce:
- ½ cube vegetable stock
- 100 ml boiling water
- 2 tablespoon Gochujang paste
- ¾ tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 4 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- half a lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
To garnish:
- 1 stalk spring onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Add the stock cube to a medium mixing bowl or a glass jar and pour boiling water over it. Crush the stock cube till it dissolves completely.
- Add the Gochujang paste, tomato paste, soy sauce, tahini, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, lime juice and sesame oil and stir until creamy and free of lumps.
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of pasta water before draining the pasta.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add butter and let it melt.
- Add shallots and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Then add the garlic and green chillies and saute for a minute.
- Pour the sauce and cook for a minute. If you use heavy cream instead of tahini, add it to the pan at this stage on a low flame and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water and toss to combine.
- Garnish with spring onion, white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds and enjoy!
