Equipment

  • Pot
  • Skillet
  • Strainer

Ingredients
  

For boiling the noodles:

  • Water
  • 1 tsp Oil
  • Salt as required
  • 250 gm Noodles

For garlic butter mixture:

  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 5-6 cloves Garlic chopped
  • ½ tsp Oregano
  • ½ tsp Red Chili Flakes
  • Salt as required

Garnishes:

  • 5-6 Basil Leaves chpped

Instructions
 

  • Boil some water in a pot, add salt, oil, and noodles, and cook them for 7-8 minutes till al dante.
  • Reserve the noodle water, and sieve out the rest.
  • In a skillet, melt butter, and add minced garlic. Cook it till it turns a little golden brown.
  • Add oregano and red chili flakes, and saute them.
  • Add the boiled noodles, and mix them properly with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Sprinkle some chopped basil leaves on top and your garlic butter noodles are ready to be served.

Notes

  • Alternative method: The other method (which I prefer and is tidier) for making the dish is to keep the cooked noodles in a big separate bowl, and pour the garlic butter mixture over the noodles.
  • Vegan and gluten-free version: Just swap out the butter and noodles with their plant-based and gluten-free counterparts.
 
How to store:
In the fridge: Place the noodles in an air-tight container, and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
In the freezer: To preserve the noodles for a longer duration, freeze them and they can last for 2 months without them going bad.
Reheating: First thaw them properly, then use a skillet to reheat them. If the noodles are too dry, add some hot water over them.
