These buttery, garlicky, and umami-packed garlic noodles are the perfect side dish for my favorite seafood dishes and grilled meats, like my roasted crab from last week. It’s soooo good, eazy to prepare, and loaded with flavor-packed Asian flavors and paired perfectly cooked pasta.
Garlic Noodles Ingredients:
1 1-lb Box of spaghetti noodles, cooked Al dente
8-10 garlic cloves, minced
1 stick of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons Maggi seasoning or soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons reserved pasta water, more as needed
1 tablespoon sugar
Microgreens, for garnish
Steps:
Cook Spaghetti – Bring a large stockpot to a boil. Generously salt the water and cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions. Set aside.
Cook Garlic Noodles – Place garlic and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat for 10 minutes and stir occasionally. Let the butter melt and slowly cook the garlic. Add oyster sauce, Maggi seasoning, fish sauce, and sugar. Mix well. Add in spaghetti and Parmesan cheese and toss until the spaghetti noodles are coated evenly with the sauce. Garnish with microgreens or green onions and sprinkle some more Parmesan cheese on the top and serve with the shrimp.
Tips:
- I love using spaghetti noodles, but you can use any pasta or noodles you like and it should taste really good!
- Add less butter and mix with olive oil if you don’t want it too buttery!
- Use more garlic if you like!
