    Hi Emily, yes you can use 400g sausage meat instead if you prefer!

    I'm here in 2025 telling you that the recipe is just as good as everyone claims. It's surprising how well the gochujang pairs with the cream.

    Have made this 3 times now and it just keeps impressing me with how simple it is to make, yet how amazing it all comes together. I usually put 1 and a half tablespoons of the Gochujang paste in and then taste test as that stuff is super spicy! I even made this for my father-in-law, who famously dislikes pasta dishes and he loved it!

    Love this!! It’s a favourite meal in our house. Is the sauce suitable for freezing?

    Hi Emma! Yes you could definitely make the sauce in advance and store in the fridge or freezer.

    Hi Kami, this recipe uses classic pork sausages. We've amended the ingredients list to make this clearer.

    First time I made it it was outstanding. 2nd time it wasn’t as good. Instead of listing “2 limes,” in the ingredient list, why not tell us how much lime juice. Juice content of limes is highly variable.

    Has anyone prepped this in advance? Looking to make it for friends but wondering if the sauce is as good reheated? Tyia

    Meaty ragus are usually better if they have time to sit for a bit. It will probably all congeal a bit but just whack in a load of that starchy pasta water and you're golden

    Loved it but for my taste I’m going to reduce the honey next time.

    Forgot to buy rigatoni so used macaroni instead, also forgot gochujang so used sriracha. Despite not really cooking the recipe by missing 2 of the 3 principal ingredients, this was absolutely outrageously delicious. 8.3/10

    This recipe is so good it should be illegal. My wife and I make it at least once a month. There is something magical about a crumble of sausage wrapped in a rigatono (surely that's the singular version of rigatoni?) exploding in your mouth when you bite into it and releasing the most delicious of sauces. This has truly climbed the ladded of pasta sauces for me and is second only to the king himself, carbonara.

    I think the flavours would go better with noodles and leave the parmesan out!
