# Ingredients:
→ Secret Sauce
01 -
2 tablespoons soy sauce
02 -
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
03 -
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
04 -
2 teaspoons fish sauce
05 -
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
06 -
1 pinch cayenne pepper
→ Noodles and Garnish
07 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
08 -
8 cloves garlic, minced
09 -
6 ounces dry spaghetti
10 -
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
11 -
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
12 -
1 pinch red pepper flakes
# Steps:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper. Stir until fully blended.
02 -
Melt unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in the prepared secret sauce and remove the pan from heat.
03 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente, around 12 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup of cooking water before draining.
04 -
Using tongs, transfer the cooked spaghetti directly into the skillet with the sauce, allowing some pasta water to accompany the noodles. Toss thoroughly to coat. Add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, mixing until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes silky. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen.
05 -
Plate the noodles and finish with chopped green onions and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For the best texture, add the Parmesan cheese while the pasta is still hot so it emulsifies with the sauce.
