Kimchi lovers will flip over this Spicy Korean Penne Pasta with Beef. #koreanfood #kimchi #pasta #penne

As much as I love a big bowl of chili or some warm, comforting soup. .  nothing is more comforting to me than Korean food. This pasta dish was created after watching something on The Food Network, probably one of Giada’s shows where she was making a simple Italian spicy pasta.

I thought why not make a spicy Korean pasta?

I mean, why not right? After I made this, I decided to get more adventurous with kimchi.

And I’m so glad I did you guys. This pasta is the BOMB DIGGITY. Like, so good. If you like kimchi, I know you’re feeling me now.

I added some beef because for me, beef + kimchi + sesame oil + gochujang = perfection. You guys have to try this. I might always eat my penne pasta like this from now on. OK, don’t quote me on that. .  but I will definitely be making this again and again. In fact, I ate more of this last night when I was packing . Today, I’m in Des Moines, Iowa (my first time in Iowa!) and will be attending the Cooking Experience weekend with Better Homes and Gardens. I’m super excited but obviously wasn’t thinking straight when I booked a 5:30am flight.

Ah well, it’s all good. I hope you enjoy. If you have any questions on where to purchase Korean food ingredients or brands I recommend, ask me down below in the comments section.

Cheers!
