MMMMM---------------------------PASTA--------------------------------
     1    Box brown rice pasta

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPINGS-------------------------------
   1/2 c  Bread crumbs
     1 tb Sesame oil; +1/2 tb
   1/2 ts Agave
   1/2 tb Gochujang
   1/2 c  Kimchi; ripened
     1 ts Toasted sesame seeds

 Cooking time: 45 minutes

 In a small pot, melt vegetable shortening and add onions and garlic.
 Cook until softened. Then add potatoes, jalapeño, chipotle,
 gochujang and seasoning. Stir until potatoes start to soften and all
 vegetables are evenly coated.

 Deglaze the bottom of the pot with water and bring to boil. Cook until
 potatoes are tender.

 Empty contents of pot into high powered blender. Add remaining
 ingredients and blend on high for a few minutes, until creamy and
 smooth.

 Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve ~1/4 cup of pasta water before
 draining. In the same pot that you cooked the pasta with, add pasta
 and cheese sauce, as well as a little pasta water in case sauce gets
 too dry. Scoop pasta into oven safe container. I used two cast iron
 pans.

 For breadcrumb topping, mix breadcrumbs, salt, and 1/2 tb sesame oil
 until breadcrumbs are nicely coated. Sprinkle over the top of the
 pasta.

 Place in 450°F oven until breadcrumbs are golden brown, 15 to
      20    minutes.

 In the meantime, heat up 1 tb sesame oil in a small skillet. Add
 kimchi, gochujang, and agave and saute until kimchi is caramelized.

 Add caramelized kimchi to baked pasta. Sprinkle with toasted sesame
 seeds.
