     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
          Cilantro; fine chopped (optional) -OR-
          Scallions; thin sliced (optional)

 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 tb 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 tb 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.
