Directions
Fill an 8-Qt stockpot with 6 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
While the water boils, prepare the chili oil:
In a small skillet over medium heat, add the oil, soy sauce, chili flakes and sesame seeds, stir to combine. When the mixture begins to slightly bubble, add the green onions and cook for one minute. Set aside and warm before serving.
Next prepare the gochujang cheese sauce:
In a 3.5-Qt to 4-Qt pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, stir to form a paste. Add the Dijon mustard and stir until smooth. Add the gochujang and stir until completely combined. Add the cream and milk, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until smooth each time. Then add the cheddar and mozzarella cheese and stir until the sauce is smooth. Add the Parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken. Whisk in 1/4 cup of pasta water until smooth.
Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and pour it into the cheese sauce. Stir to coat the pasta with the sauce. Add a small splash of pasta water at a time and stir until the pasta is silky and well coated.
Serve the pasta in a bowl with bok choy and add a drizzle of chili oil over the top. Enjoy!
