Instructions

Step 1

Cook the tagliatelle in well-salted boiling water according to packet instructions. Reserve a small cup of pasta water, then drain.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and chilli flakes. Sauté gently for 1–2 minutes to infuse the butter — don’t let the garlic brown.

Step 3

Add the king prawns and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until pink and just cooked through.

Step 4

Add a splash of white wine or cider, and let it simmer for 30 seconds to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the gochujang and mix well. Keep the heat low and let it cook gently for 1–2 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.

Step 6

Add the double cream and Parmesan, stirring until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Add the drained tagliatelle straight into the pan. Toss to coat, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

Step 8

Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan or a few chilli flakes if desired.
