Step 1
Boil salted water in a large skillet over high heat. Add pasta and cook until al dente, ~9 minutes.
Step 2
Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta. Return it to the skillet off heat.
Step 3
Add gochujang, butter, and chili crisp to the pasta. Toss over medium heat until the sauce coats every strand, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Add half the reserved pasta water and stir until glossy and creamy. Add more if needed.
Step 5
Fold in lemon zest and juice. Taste and adjust salt, then divide between bowls.
Step 6
Top each bowl with Parmesan and a drizzle of chili crisp. Serve immediately.
