Instructions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Tips & Tricks (5)

Garlic Infusion Technique 🧄
Toast minced garlic in butter at low heat to release its nutty, complex flavors without burning, which prevents bitterness and creates a rich base for the noodles.
Pasta Water Magic 💦
Reserve 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water before draining to help emulsify the sauce and create a silkier, more cohesive coating for the noodles.
Umami Layer Building 🥢
Combine fish sauce, oyster sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to create a deeply complex umami base that elevates the entire dish's flavor profile.
Cheese Integration Trick 🧀
Grate Parmigiano-Reggiano very finely and add it off-heat to prevent clumping and ensure smooth, even distribution throughout the noodles.
Spice Balance Technique 🌶️
Mix red pepper flakes and cayenne carefully to create a nuanced heat level that complements rather than overwhelms the garlic's delicate flavor.
