Garlic Scallion Noodles

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 8 oz (half a box) of angel hair or spaghettini noodles (I like Barilla's whole grain pasta)
• 4 tablespoons butter (half a stick)
• 5 cloves of garlic, minced or pushed through a garlic press
• 2 scallions finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 or 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (based on your own personal preference of sweetness)

Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse.

In a heavy skillet over medium heat. Melt butter. Add scallions and garlic. Stir and cook, without browning the garlic. Cook until the garlic smell is fragrant and filling the room, about 5 minutes. Add sugar and soy sauce, and cook for another minute. Increase the heat a bit and throw in the noodles. Quickly saute the noodles until they are all coated with the garlicky butter mixture.

Serve immediately. Garnish with additional scallions if desired.
