ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more as needed
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 5 slices pork belly, cut into ½-inch strips
  • 1/4 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1 cup Muir Glen Classic Marinara Sauce
  • 1/2 pound spaghetti
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnishing
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

  • Step 2

    Add the pork belly strips with a pinch of salt and cook until browned.

  • Step 3

    Stir in the onion and the white parts of the scallions. Cook until the onion begins to soften.

  • Step 4

    Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

  • Step 5

    Stir in the gochujang and cook for another minute.

  • Step 6

    Pour in Muir Glen Classic Marinara Sauce and simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.

  • Step 7

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve at least ½ cup of the pasta water before draining.

  • Step 8

    Stir heavy cream into the sauce and let it warm through. Gradually add reserved pasta water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

  • Step 9

    Toss in the cooked spaghetti and parmesan cheese, stirring to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce becomes too thick, add more pasta water a little at a time.

  • Step 10

    Divide the pasta into bowls. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese, black pepper, and the green parts of the scallions.
