I got so many people asking about this macaroni and cheese recipe that I had to share! It is creamy, cheesy, and has such a fun twist on an American classic. I used this as the base for fried Mac and cheese balls! You can find that recipe linked here!
First, you want to make your Mac and cheese. To a pan, add oil, minced garlic, and your Gojuchang paste. Let that start to break down at medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Then, add your heavy cream, seasoning blend, and stir.
When the chili paste has incorporated with the heavy cream, reduce heat to a low simmer and add your grated cheese. I used mozzarella, white cheddar, and regular cheddar! Toss in your cooked pasta and stir until the noodles are fully coated!
