Pinterest & Garlic

I LOVE Pinterest!  Maybe a little too much - kind of distracting.  My favorite thing about it is the recipes!  I find SO MANY great recipes to try and the following was the first recipe I tried off Pinterest.  The picture is from Pinterest - not my kitchen :) 

P.S. If you're not on Pinterest you should let me know and I will "invite" you to join and you will become addicted!


Garlic Scallion Noodles
1 box either angel hair or spaghetti noodles
5-8 Tbsp butter (a full stick is a little too much - I would go with maybe 5 next time)
8 cloves of garlic, minced or pushed through a garlic press
4 scallions finely chopped
4 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp of brown sugar (less or more based on your own personal preference of sweetness)

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
In a heavy skillet over medium heat. Melt butter. Add scallions and garlic. Stir and cook, without browning the garlic. Cook until the garlic smell is fragrant and filling the room, about 5 minutes. Add sugar and soy sauce, and cook for another minute. Increase the heat a bit and throw in the noodles. Quickly saute the noodles until they are all coated with the garlicky butter mixture.
Serve immediately. Garnish with additional scallions if desired.

This recipe can be added to as desired.  Matt suggested using a meat next time - chicken or steak strips - really anything. :)
