Garlic Butter Noodles with Caramelized Shallots
The MOST umami-filled pasta dish you will ever eat.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
Caramelized Shallots
- 5 Shallot thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 2 tablespoon Sherry
- 1 pinch Kosher Salt
Other Pasta Ingredients
- 1 head Garlic finely minced
- 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional; more or less based on spice preference
- 2 teaspoon Oyster Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Light Soy Sauce low sodium
- 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
- 8 oz Bucatini or any long pasta shape; reserve pasta water
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon Homiah Sambal Chili Crunch I highly recommend Homiah
- 1 Green Onion thinly sliced; dark green top section only
Instructions
Caramelized Shallots
- Heat olive oil and butter in a medium stainless steel pan or Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced shallots and a generous pinch of salt. Stir to combine
- Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized. Add a few splashes of water as needed if the shallots start to burn.
- Once caramelized, add the Sherry to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any stuck bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Other Pasta Instructions
- Meanwhile, melt the other 2 tbsp of butter in a wok or saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce and fish sauce. Stir to combine with the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Bring 1.5 inches of water to a boil in a 12-inch skillet or sauté pan over high heat. Add the pasta, and cook about a minute less than package instructions. Stir occasionally so the pasta doesn’t stick together.
- Transfer the pasta directly to the garlic and sauce mixture, bringing any pasta water that comes along with it.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the grated cheese. Stir vigorously to form a creamy sauce. Add additional pasta water as needed to form the sauce.
- Mix in the prepared caramelized shallots until well combined. Serve right away with thinly sliced green onions and Homiah Sambal Chili Crunch.
