Chili Oil Pasta: The Perfect Pantry Meal
This pasta recipe isn’t just easy to make, it’s also easy to adjust based on what you have on hand. I often use spaghetti or linguini simply because thats what I always have in my pantry. Maybe you only have bow ties, fusili, or penne – they all work! Besides, that makes it more fun. Combined with the savory, spicy sauce made of ingredients you probably have now – chili oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, butter, and garlic – you’ll have a full meal ready in 10 minutes.
It’s not just the noodle type you can adjust. For a heartier meal, check what’s in your fridge! I sometimes add any ingredients like cabbage, bacon, or tofu that I still have a little bit of. All you have to do is add them into the pan before you add noodles and saute until fully cooked. Then, finish the dish by adding your cooked noodles and you’re all set. Add a sprinkle of shaved Parmesan cheese to garnish and really up the flavor!
