Ingredients

• 250 grams spaghetti
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 pieces scallions, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is uniformly blended.

Step 5

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.

Step 6

If the noodles seem too dry, add some of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the noodles and toss well to combine.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the garlic noodles with the finely chopped scallions.

Step 9

Serve immediately, while the noodles are hot and flavorful.
