Step 1
Boil salted water in a large pot. Add pasta and cook until al dente, ~9 minutes.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add broccoli florets. Cook, stirring occasionally, until charred and fork-tender, ~6 minutes.
Step 4
Push broccoli to the side. Add garlic to the empty space and cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 5
Add gochujang and sesame oil. Stir constantly until the paste breaks down and coats the broccoli, ~1 minute.
Step 6
Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Add pasta to the skillet.
Step 7
Toss pasta and broccoli together, adding cooking water a splash at a time until sauce coats everything.
Step 8
Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
