Cook the Pasta

Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

Add Kimchi

Stir in chopped kimchi and sauté for another 3–5 minutes until fragrant and lightly caramelized.

Make It Creamy

Lower heat, add cream, and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Toss Everything Together

Add the cooked pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss until the sauce is creamy and coats the noodles. Stir in scallion greens and more kimchi juice if desired.
