Chili Oil Garlic Butter Pasta

Cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package directions. Reserve some pasta water before draining.

While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine chili oil, honey, and soy sauce. Mix well.

In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.

Pour the prepared chili oil sauce mixture into the pan with the garlic butter and stir to combine.

Add the cooked pasta directly to the pan, followed by a splash of the reserved pasta water.

Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated in the sauce.

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and minced chives to the pan.

Give it a final mix until the cheese is melted and everything is combined.

Serve the pasta in a bowl. Garnish with an egg yolk, an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of chili oil.
