Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 6 ounces spaghetti
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onion, or to taste
• 0.25 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Quickly stir in the secret sauce and turn off the heat.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet slightly firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer spaghetti into the sauce using tongs, bringing some of the cooking water with it. Toss until well coated; stir in Parmesan cheese. Splash in more pasta water if noodles are too dry.

Step 4

Plate noodles; garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Gather all ingredients. Stir soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl for the secret sauce.
