    Title: Gochujang Buttered Noodles
    Categories: Pasta, Vegetables, Chilies, Herbs
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 lb Spaghetti or other long
    - pasta
    6 tb Unsalted butter
    12 cl Garlic; fine chopped
    Salt & black pepper
    1/4 c Gochujang paste; not sauce
    1/4 c Honey
    1/4 c Sherry or rice vinegar
    Fine chopped cilantro; opt
    +=OR=+
    Thin sliced scallions; opt

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti

    and cook according to package instructions. Reserve 1
    cup of the cooking water. Drain the spaghetti and return
    to its pot.

    While the pasta cooks, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter
    in a skillet over medium-low. Add the garlic and season
    generously with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until
    the garlic starts to soften but not brown, 1 to 3
    minutes.

    Stir in the gochujang, honey and vinegar, and bring to a
    simmer over medium-high. Cook, stirring constantly,
    until the mixture reduces significantly, 3 to 4 minutes;
    when you drag a spatula across the bottom of the pan, it
    should leave behind a trail that stays put for about 3
    seconds. Remove from the heat.

    Transfer the sauce to the pot with the spaghetti and add
    the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Vigorously stir
    until the butter melts. Add splashes of the pasta
    cooking water, as needed, to thin out the sauce. Taste
    and season with salt and pepper. Top with the cilantro
    or scallions (if using) and serve immediately.
