Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 shallots
- 1 tbsp garlic
- 2 tbsp gochujang paste
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup parsley
Instructions
- 1Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
