These noodles combine butter, soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, garlic, and fresh ginger to create a rich and slightly sweet sauce coating tender spaghetti. The dish balances savory and lightly sweet flavors with the aromatic notes of garlic and ginger. It cooks quickly, making it practical for a satisfying meal or side dish when time is limited.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated, fresh
- 1 tablespoon scallions chopped
- 4 ounces spaghetti
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil a salted pot of water for the noodles (I used spaghetti but feel free to use rice noodles or something else). Cook the spaghetti al dente according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, add all the other ingredients except for salt & pepper to a skillet. Once the pasta is a few minutes from being ready, turn the burner on medium heat. Let everything melt together and give it a good stir. It'll soon start to bubble. Let it bubble gently for a minute or so until the garlic cooks and the sauce thickens a bit.
- Once the pasta is done, drain it and then add it to the skillet and toss it with the sauce. Season with salt & pepper as needed.

Notes
- Prepare the sauce while boiling noodles to save time.
- Freshly grated ginger adds the best flavor; a microplane grater works well.
- Season with salt and pepper after tossing pasta to taste.
- Sesame seeds can be added as a garnish but are optional.
