This punchy pasta dish combines thin linguini with the sweet, smoky heat of Korean Gochujang paste and a colorful array of fresh veggies. Each bite is full of bold flavors, made complete with a hint of nutty sesame oil and the complex notes of cooking wine.
Cook linguini according to package instructions to al dente consistency, typically around 8 minutes; then drain and set aside.
