Preparation

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of the pasta water, then drain the noodles and set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3–4 minutes. Add the oyster sauce, Maggi, and fish sauce, and stir to combine.
  3. Whisk 1½ cups of the reserved pasta water into the garlic mixture. Increase the heat to high, and reduce until thickened, 4–5 minutes, whisking often to emulsify the sauce. Add more pasta water as needed if it’s reducing too quickly.
  4. Add the cooked pasta, and toss to evenly coat the noodles.
  5. Remove the pasta mixture from heat. Slowly add the Parmesan cheese, stirring vigorously with a spatula, until the sauce turns creamy and smooth, about 30 seconds.
  6. Add the scallions, and serve immediately.
  7. Enjoy!
