Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the thin spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tbsp of the pasta water, then drain the noodles and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, garlic powder, sugar, and reserved pasta water until the sugar dissolves.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 20 to 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Add the butter and let it melt, cooking until the garlic is lightly golden but not browned.
