How to Make Asian Garlic Butter Noodles

1. Cook 8 oz of dried noodles (spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine) according to package directions in a large pot of boiling salted water. Drain the noodles, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
2. While the noodles cook, prepare the sauce: In a clean wok or large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat.
3. Add 2 thinly sliced stalks of green onion and 4 minced cloves of garlic to the melted butter. Fry for 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of Maggi seasoning (or soy sauce), and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Cook for 30 seconds, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
5. Add the drained noodles to the sauce. Toss vigorously to coat the noodles evenly. Add a little reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
