Notes
- Any type of long pasta can be used for this recipe.
- If you don’t have sriracha, you can use garlic chili sauce, gochujang, or chili crisp. The spice level will vary depending on which one you use.
- If you don’t have rice vinegar, you can use white vinegar, white wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.
- We remove more pasta water than the recipe calls for, just in case we need more to cream the pasta.
- If you would like a saucier dish, you can double the sauce.
