Kimchi Pasta
You’re probably wondering…kimchee pasta?? Sounds weird. Long time ago when I was in college, I went to this restaurant on the outskirts of Koreatown. They had a dish called kimchee pasta and I loved it! I would crave it! But after a few years, they went out of business. After I got married, I tried to make it but it didn’t taste anything like it. I tried it again tonight and I thought it came out pretty good. Try and it and tell me what you think!
Ingredients:
Feeds (2-3)
1/2 pint heavy cream
1/4 stick of salted butter
Salt to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper
Kimchee (must be really good kimchee and pretty ripe)
Green onions to garnish
Directions:
First melt butter in pan and then add the heavy cream, whisking it. After a few minutes add the kimchee. Cook at medium heat for about 5 minutes and reduce to low heat. Once the pasta is cooked (I recommend spaghetti or linguini), mix together with the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

omg kimchi pasta is soooo good. the one @ zip in la is good. they have them in a lot of places in la now.
ew. sounds as bad as kimchi pizza.
sounds like this pasta they had in a korean drama called “only you.” this ajuma made gochujang pasta and the main character would try to replicate it but could never get it right. she was finally able to convince the ajuma to teach her.
i actually had something just like this in korea at some random pasta place in apukujeong. i was VERY doubtful at first, but somehow, the cream sauce went well with the spicy salty kimchee. surprise surprise.
interesting..
i love the kimchee pasta at nandarang.. i totally crave that all the time. it tastes like there’s alfredo sauce in it.
i happen to have all these ingredients on hand actually… so i will definitely try it!
it IS good! is it only a ktown thing?
hm… would have never thought of that one ^^ must try soon!
I figure out of all people, you would be able to help me with this. How do you list the subtopics on the left? Do you need a special skin? I really like the list of Korean food you’ve got going here…
i remember kimchi pasta was really good at Point in K-town at Aroma Center. so long ago though…
kimchee pasta at nandarang (cafe in ktown) is goood~ must try and make it… thanx!
i’ve never had it but i could see it being really good! it also reminds me of that kimchi rice dish at “third floor cafe” on 32nd street… for some reason, i can’t remember the name of it but it’s this kimchi bokkeum bap with cheese melted on top. yum yum!
i’m gonna whip this up tonight!
wow, that actually looks very delicious.
That’s like.. a kimchee cream sauce.. It sounds tasty, but I really love a homey, tomatoey (or in this case, I guess chili) sauce. Do you think you could puree kimchee with a red bell pepper to create a smooth, spicy pasta sauce? The cabbage can give it great substance!
genius.
interesting but cool.
omg kimchi pasta is SO good!! thanks for posting this~
i love how you garnish all your dishes…so cute ^.^
i never tried it but sounds delicious~
I’ve had it with pieces of calamari mixed in…it’s very good.
I agree, the kimchi pasta @ nandarang in ktown!!!! It’s soooo good. Next time I go I’ll ask for the recipe (if they share it; never hurts to ask). =)
whoa, i’ve never seen that before. looks yummy!
deliciousness! Thanks for the recipe.

I saw you on Featured Content and thought, “wow, korean food!” That sounds yummy!! I’ve had kimchi fried rice, and loved it, so I’m so going to have try this one! Thanks for sharing!

tried it today for lunch.. I cooked a pork roast the night before too and added some chopped up leftovers to it.. yum!
thanks for the idea!
Kimchi pasta? It’s like a mix of west & east. I’ll give it a try. BTW, where is this nandarang cafe in LA? Anybody has an address?
YuMMie!!! i love pasta and kimchi… this is an awesome recipe! Thanks again!!
i tried making this last night. But I didnt know how much kimchi and pasta you were suppose to put in. It came out pretty good except that I think I put too much heavy cream. The sauce was more pink then red…. but it was yummy!
Just told my friend to try it but with calamari added would be good. Mmm… never really tried kimchee yet and my friend has yet to convince me but with this recipe I will definitely give it a go. Thanks for posting this… and I hope more simple recipes to come!
mmm, looks yum!
kinda reminds me of ra-poh-qi (ramen noodles w/ dok-pok-qi).
ok im hungry now.
I think anything with kimchi in it is good….lol…..I make kimchi dauk-bok-gee all the time….

Good stuff! Keep it up!
I played around with this and used condensed milk not realizing how sweet it is, but I added some red pepper bean paste and it was great. Everyone loved it! Thanks for the recipe.
I’m a newcomer but I find this to be delicious! Well, I haven’t made any but I will soon! Gosh.. I’m starving just by looking at the pictures and reading the recipes..
this is the best xanga page ever.
I think if you saute the kimchie in the butter first, then deglaze with a little bit of wine, and reduce to au sec… Then add the cream… it’ll come out better.
Come on, somebody post something new. I’m itching to try a new dish or learn some new techniques.
Do you know if there is any product in those recipe sale in USA(Minnesota)??
This is a great site!! I LOVE kimchee, and made a soup the other night for guests from slightly old kimchee with mushrooms in a beef broth.BUT ..someday start at the beginning and give some of your KIMCHEE recipe secrets,because making kimchee is really tricky! I finally got mine to bubble just right after figuring out taht you need a LOT of salt at first,but then you really really have to wash it OUT ,(whixh is probably why Korean ladies always use rock salt?) but if you DONT wash it REALLY WELL, the kimchee just wont bubble….maybe you all know this,but as a macaroni and cheese american it took me a lot of time to figure this stuff out!!
