A simple and delicious noodle dish with a touch of spice and savory flavors, perfect for a quick meal.
Cook the spaghetti in boiling water until al dente, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Rinsing the pasta helps to stop the cooking process and prevents sticking.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Sauté the garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine with the garlic and chili flakes.
Use tongs to evenly coat the noodles with the garlic and chili mixture.
Pour the soy sauce over the noodles and continue tossing until well coated. Adjust the seasoning with black pepper.
Taste and adjust the soy sauce to your preference for saltiness.
Transfer the noodles to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions.
For a burst of freshness, add the green onions just before serving.
