Open in Pepper →Butter Garlic And A Pot Of Noodles
Garlic noodles come together in about the time it takes to boil the water, and they use things you already have — butter, garlic, soy sauce, a box of pasta. That makes them the dinner you fall back on when nothing was planned.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights everybody gets home late, when they want one pan on the stove and no trip to the store. They stretch a little meat a long way, too.
Every recipe here starts with garlic and noodles and goes its own direction: Vietnamese Garlic Noodles with lo mein and butter, Creamy Garlic Noodles over spaghetti, Peanut Butter Garlic Noodles with soy sauce, Creamy Garlic Noodles with Meatballs, Garlic Noodles with Pork Belly, and Pepper Prawn Garlic Noodles.
Quick Tips
- 1
Save some pasta water
Scoop out 1 cup before you drain. A few splashes loosen the sauce and help the butter cling to every noodle.
- 2
Cook garlic low and slow
Melt the butter over medium-low and give the minced garlic 1 to 2 minutes, just until it smells sweet. Browned garlic turns bitter fast.
- 3
Undercook the noodles slightly
Pull them 1 minute shy of the package time. They finish in the hot sauce without going soft.
- 4
Sear shrimp separately
Give shrimp about 2 minutes per side in a hot pan, then set aside and add back at the end so they stay tender.
