Description

What happens when you mix Italian tomatoes with Korean chiles?  A wonderful fusion of flavors I call Korean Penne Arrabbiata (angry penne).


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 large cloves (or 4 small cloves) of garlic, sliced thinly
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium veg broth for sautéing
  • 1 T. gochugaru (Korean chile flakes)
  • 28 oz. peeled Italian tomatoes
  • 1 T. tomato paste
  • 1 T. gochujang (Korean chile paste)
  • 1/4 c. Italian parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 quarts of water
  • 1 T. salt
  • 12 oz. gluten-free penne pasta

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the garlic and sauté in the veg broth until soft
  2. Add the chile pepper flakes (gochugaru) and mix well
  3. To your blender or food processor, add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and chile paste (gochujang) and pulse just until combined - about 10-15 times
  4. Add the tomato mixture to your pan of garlic and toss in the chopped parsley. 
  5. Cover and simmer until bubbly - about 10 min on low heat
  6. Meanwhile, bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta
  7. Follow the package instructions for cooking, then drain and return to pan
  8. Add the sauce and stir thoroughly
  9. Test for salt and pepper and serve
  10. I garnished mine with parsley and FRESNO chile strips
  11. I also served with a crusty artesian bread and topped the pasta with my Vegan parmesan
