Prep 10 min Cook 20 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti noodles
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Parmesan cheese
  • green onions (chopped)

Steps

  1. 1

    Boil water in a casserole and cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain well. Reserve some of the pasta water.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil and butter in a large pan until warm. Add the garlic and cook until golden and aromatic, stirring regularly for even cooking.

  3. 3

    While browning the garlic, prepare the sauce by combining fish sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper, brown sugar, and one tablespoon of water in a bowl. Whisk until blended.

  4. 4

    When the garlic is golden brown, pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Add a splash of pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, if the noodles look dry.

  5. 5

    Add parmesan cheese and stir to combine. Sprinkle green onions and toss. Serve immediately.
