Garlic Noodles

An absurd amount of garlic, and worth every clove.

⏱ 20 min · easy · 🍽 serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb spaghetti
• 1 whole head garlic, minced
• 6 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 3 scallions, sliced

Steps

1. Boil the noodles in salted water and save a cup of the water.
2. Melt the butter over medium-low and add all the garlic. Cook 4 to 5 minutes until soft and fragrant but only barely coloured. Browned garlic turns bitter and ruins it.
3. Add the oyster, fish and soy sauces and stir 30 seconds.
4. Add the drained noodles with a splash of pasta water and toss until glossy.
5. Off the heat, add the parmesan and scallions and toss again.
