Korean spiced orecchiette is a delicious pasta featuring lean ground chicken, Korean chilli sauce, and sweet honey. Garlic and sesame oil add a beautiful fragrance. It’s just a bit spicy, but very robust in flavour. I serve this with one of my favourite pastas – orecchiette. It comes from Southern Italy and translates to mean ‘little ears.’ I try not to think about that too much while eating it, but they’re delicious.
Korea and Italy are both countries that I’ve had the privilege of visiting. Both of these countries boast amazing cuisines and are well worth visiting from a foodie’s perspective. This dish is a fun play on a fusion style, combining famous Korean spice with tasty Italian pasta.
how to cook Korean spiced orecchiette
Start by cooking the onion and red pepper in a skillet with some olive oil over medium heat. When they begin to soften, shift them to the side and add in the ground chicken. (If you wanted to, you could swap out the chicken for some lean ground beef. These flavours are amazing with beef too!) Cook stirring often until the chicken begins to brown, then toss the chicken and vegetables together and add in the garlic.
In the meantime, cook the orecchiette in salted water until al dente (tender but firm) according to package directions. You could substitute for another kind of pasta if you’d like. Penne or shells would be great as well.
Now you can mix the gochujang (Korean chilli paste), soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and salt into the chicken. Cook for a minute, then add the water and reduce heat to low while you wait for the pasta.
When the pasta is finished cooking, drain it well then toss it with the butter in its original pot. Pour the pasta into the pan and mix it in to get it covered in that yummy sauce. Season with more salt to taste and enjoy.
