Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz egg noodles or linguine
  • 4 to 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional but recommended)
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Begin by boiling egg noodles or linguine in salted water until al dente. This ensures they maintain a slight bite, absorbing the sauce without becoming mushy. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add minced garlic. Stir frequently and cook until fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn it as burnt garlic turns bitter.
  3. Combine Sauce Ingredients: Add soy sauce and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture. Stir to combine and let it simmer for a minute to meld the flavors together.
  4. Toss Noodles in Sauce: Transfer the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing thoroughly so every strand is evenly coated with the rich, garlicky sauce. This is where the magic happens, as the noodles soak up all those flavors.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: Remove from heat, then sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped green onions. Give it a gentle toss, and your Garlic Noodles are ready to serve piping hot!

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Do not overcook noodles; al dente texture is best for holding sauce.
  • Use quality unsalted butter for best creamy texture and aroma.
  • Cook garlic gently over medium heat to avoid bitterness.
  • Adjust soy sauce and red pepper flakes gradually to taste.
