Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Frying Pan

Ingredients

  • 200 grams Fettuccine Or any kind of pasta
  • 8 cloves Garlic 4 sliced & 4 chopped
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter room temp
  • 1 tsp Chilli Flakes
  • 1 tsp Mushroom Stock
  • 2 pcs Spring Onion finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tsp Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder optional
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil for garlic oil
  • 1 tbsp Sambal/Chilli sauce optional for extra heat

Instructions

  • Let's prepare crispy garlic chips and oil first, place the olive oil and the finely sliced garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat
  • Cook until the garlic is just starting to turn golden at the edges
  • Place it into another bowl (heat-proof) and set aside for later (the crispy garlic will continue cooking and turn evenly golden in the bowl)
  • Then, we start with the pasta. Heat a large pot of salted water over high heat. When boiling rapidly, add the pasta and cook until al dente
  • While the pasta is cooking, let's make the sauce. Add the butter, chopped garlic, and chilli flakes into a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir well, then add oyster sauce
  • Simmer for a minute and then take off the heat until the pasta is cooked
  • When the pasta is al dente, reserve a cup of pasta cooking liquid in case you need it later
  • Place the sauce back on the heat and add the pasta straight into the pan
  • Cook until the liquid has been absorbed by the pasta and everything is looking super glossy and thick
  • Add mushroom stock and garlic powder then add a little pasta cooking water here if necessary (optional to add sambal/chilli sauce for extra heat)
  • For garnish, top with a drizzle of garlic oil and crispy garlic chips.
  • Add additional spring onion and chilli flakes too
