Have a go at this scrumptious Creamy Bacon Kimchi Pasta. Pasta noodles tossed in a flavorful creamy kimchi sauce, topped with crispy bacon and shredded parmesan.
Boil pasta according to package instructions and reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.
In a cold pan over medium heat, add sliced bacon. Pan fry until cooked and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside for later.
To the same pan over medium heat, sauté onions in the bacon grease until translucent. Add minced garlic and minced kimchi. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in heavy cream and stir. Add gochujang, light soy sauce, sugar and the cheese. Stir until well combined and bring to a simmer.
Turn heat down to medium low and add 1/4 cup pasta water, pasta and butter. Stir until every strand of pasta is coated with the sauce and turn off heat (see notes).
Serve and add crispy bacon on top. Garnish with parsley and add more shredded parmesan on top. Optional: serve with cheese bread or garlic bread. Enjoy!
