This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners because it comes together in just 15 minutes flat. The beauty of this red pepper and gochujang fusilli is how it transforms a few simple ingredients into something that tastes restaurant quality. Red peppers are packed with vitamin C, which is fantastic for boosting immunity, and the gochujang paste brings this amazing savory heat that makes the whole dish sing. It's become my go to when I want something impressive but don't have much time or energy to spend in the kitchen.
