- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
For the noodles
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir these together until well blended and set aside.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. As the butter melts, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet and turn off the heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, stirring occasionally.
- Reserve a cup of the starchy pasta water and drain the spaghetti.
- Transfer the hot spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce and add a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss the spaghetti to ensure it’s well coated.
- Stir in the finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese until it melts and creates a creamy texture.
- Plate the Garlic Noodles, garnishing with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
