Notes
- Use long noodles for the best results.
- Don't boil the noodles for too long. Just until al dente as they will cook a bit more with the sauce before serving.
- For the best flavor in your spicy garlic noodles, use fresh garlic cloves instead of jarred minced garlic.
- Drain the noodles well so you don't dilute the sauce with excess water.
- Store leftovers for up to 5 days in an air-tight container. I don't recommend freezing it as the noodles will turn to mush.
- Reheat the noodles in a skillet over medium-low heat just until hot.
- Side dishes bring out the amazing flavors in a meal. Find sides here, at What to Serve with Paella.
