Ingredients
Noodles
- 16 ounces bucatini noodles, or any pasta noodles you prefer
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
Spicy Garlic Butter Sauce
- ½ cup (1 stick, 113 g) salted butter
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, more or less for level of spiciness, plus more for garnish (optional)
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons garlic chili oil, more or less for level of spiciness
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ¼ cup (25 g) parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish (optional)
- green onion, thinly sliced for garnish
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Noodles
- Fill a large pot halfway with water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Add bouillon powder and bucatini noodles. Cook until al dente (about 12-14 minutes).
- Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Set noodles aside while you prepare the garlic butter sauce.
Spicy Garlic Butter Sauce
- In the same pot you used to make the noodles, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chicken bouillon powder, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Stir to mix together and cook for 1 minute.
- Add crunchy garlic chili oil and soy sauce and mix well.
- Add ¼ cup of reserved pasta water and stir to combine.
- Add noodles and parmesan cheese to the pot and toss to combine. Add more pasta water, a little at a time, if needed, until the spicy garlic noodles reach your desired consistency. (We only used the initial ¼ cup of pasta water.)
- Top with green onion, additional parmesan cheese, and crushed red pepper flakes. Serve warm. Salt and pepper, to taste.
