Method

Cook the pasta & prep the ingredients

Peel and finely dice the onion. Chop the chives. Remove the skin from the sausages and break the meat into bite size pieces.

Toast the breadcrumbs

Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and gently toast for 2-3 minutes. Remove the breadcrumbs and use the same pan to cook the rest of the dish.

Cook the sauce

Heat a dash of oil in the frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sausage pieces and fry for 2-3 minutes, add the onion and garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the gochujang, tomato puree, soy sauce and a splash of the pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Add the pasta to the pan and combine with the sausage sauce. You may want to use a bit more pasta water to reach the desired consistency for the sauce. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste.
