Ingredients
8 ounces medium pasta shells
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped kimchi
1/2 cup kimchi juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add chopped kimchi and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in vegetable broth and kimchi juice, then add the pasta shells. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover the pot.
Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in heavy cream, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
