Instructions

Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Garlic: In a large pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant—avoid burning the garlic to maintain flavor.
Toss in the Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the garlic butter sauce. Stir thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly, allowing them to absorb the garlic and butter flavors for 1-2 minutes.
Season the Noodles: Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle in chili flakes if using. Toss everything together well and taste. Adjust seasoning by adding more soy sauce for saltiness or extra chili flakes for additional heat as desired.
Garnish and Serve: Transfer the garlic noodles to serving plates. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh garlic rather than pre-minced garlic.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce and chili flakes based on personal taste preferences.
Spaghetti or egg noodles work best, but feel free to experiment with other noodle types.
For a vegetarian version, ensure the soy sauce is vegetarian-friendly and omit the Parmesan or use a vegan alternative.
Serve this dish immediately to enjoy the noodles at their freshest and most flavorful.
