🥢 Kimchi Olive Pasta Recipe

Ingredients (2 servings)
Pasta – 200g (spaghetti, linguine, or your choice)

Kimchi – 1 cup, chopped (with some juice for extra flavor)

Olives – ½ cup, sliced (green or black, or a mix)

Olive oil – 2 tbsp

Garlic – 3 cloves, minced

Onion – 1 small, finely chopped (optional)

Soy sauce – 1 tbsp

Gochujang (Korean chili paste) – 1 tbsp (adjust to spice preference)

Pasta cooking water – ½ cup

Spring onions – 2 stalks, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds – 1 tsp (optional)

Instructions
Cook the pasta

Bring salted water to a boil, cook pasta until al dente, and reserve ½ cup of the pasta water. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the sauce base

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add garlic (and onion if using), sauté until fragrant.

Add kimchi & flavor

Stir in the chopped kimchi and cook for 2–3 minutes to release aroma.

Add gochujang, soy sauce, and a splash of kimchi juice for tanginess. Mix well.

Add olives & pasta water

Toss in sliced olives.

Pour in the pasta water and stir to create a slightly saucy base.

Combine pasta & sauce

Add the cooked pasta and toss well so the sauce coats every strand.

Garnish & serve

Top with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds.

Serve hot — spicy, tangy, and savory!

💡 Tips

For a creamy twist, add 2 tbsp of cream or cream cheese when mixing the pasta.

You can add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.

Black olives give a richer flavor, green olives add more brininess.
