Main Ingredients

  • 3-4 strips thick-cut bacon (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 3 Tbsp chopped green onions (finely chopped for a fresh aroma)
  • 300ml Milk
  • 200ml Heavy Cream
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic (the base for a fragrant flavor!)
  • 100g Shrimp (peeled and deveined) (adds a delightful chewy texture)
  • 1 Sausage (optional, sliced into desired pieces)
  • 3-4 Perilla leaves (for garnish at the end, to enhance flavor!)

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • Salt to taste (adjust seasoning)
  • 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) (the key to the spicy flavor! Adjust to your preference)
  • 1 Tbsp Ketchup
  • Black pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, let’s create the base for our pasta sauce! In a deep bowl, combine 300ml of milk and 200ml of heavy cream. Add 3 tablespoons of finely chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well. Covering it with plastic wrap for a while will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Step 1

Step 2

Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add thinly sliced garlic and sauté gently until fragrant and golden brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic; this step is crucial for developing a rich aroma. (Tip: Slicing and sautéing any mushrooms you have, like shiitake, will further enhance the flavor!) Add the bacon and scored sausage, and cook until nicely browned. The rendered bacon fat will add a wonderful richness.

Step 3

To the cooked ingredients, add 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 1 tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). Stir to combine. If you enjoy a spicier taste, feel free to adjust the amount of gochugaru to your liking! (Tip: For an extra kick, you can also add finely minced chili peppers.)

Step 3

Step 4

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add a little oil to the water and cook the spaghetti pasta for about 10 minutes. Refer to the package instructions for the exact cooking time, but it’s a good idea to taste a strand or two to check for al dente perfection.

Step 4

Step 5

Meanwhile, uncover the bowl containing the prepared cream sauce and pour it into the pan. Once the sauce begins to simmer, add all the cooked ingredients (bacon, sausage, mushrooms, etc.) and mix well. Finally, season with salt. It’s best not to make it too salty initially, as the flavor will concentrate when mixed with the pasta. Aim for a slightly milder taste at this stage.

Step 5

Step 6

While the sauce is simmering, drain the cooked spaghetti and add it directly to the sauce pan. (Don’t discard the pasta water; reserve a little as it’s useful for adjusting the sauce consistency.) Add the prepared fresh shrimp and blanched broccoli (for a lovely color!) and stir quickly. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink and the pasta is well coated with the sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, gradually add a little of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Transfer the finished Toowoomba pasta to a beautiful serving plate. Garnish generously with thinly sliced perilla leaves. Your spicy and creamy Toowoomba pasta, perfectly suited to the Korean palate, is now complete! The refreshing aroma of perilla leaves cuts through the richness, making it incredibly delicious. Enjoy your meal!
