Buttery, savory Garlic Noodles tossed in a rich soy and oyster sauce blend, finished with freshly grated parmesan and green onions. Quick, comforting, and packed with bold flavor in every silky strand.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces (340 grams) spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter
- 6 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) oyster sauce
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated parmesan cheese
- 2 fresh green onions, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and oyster sauce and set aside.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter gently.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
- Transfer the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Pour in the soy and oyster sauce mixture. Toss well using tongs, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the noodles are well coated and heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and silky. Add sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately while warm and glossy, with extra parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Use freshly grated parmesan for smoother melting and better flavor.
- Do not let the garlic brown too much to avoid bitterness.
- Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
- Reheat leftovers gently with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
