What can be better than spicy, garlicky noodles that are ready in under 15 minutes? This noodle recipe is the ultimate comfort food for me. These noodles are SPICY, though you can definitely reduce the heat by adding fewer chili flakes. Meanwhile, if you think that you can handle more heat, feel free to add more chili flakes or cayenne pepper.

This recipe is totally adjustable; that's why I call it comfort food. You can basically use any kind of noodles that you have in hand. You can replace parsley with cilantro and omit the cumin seeds if you don't have any.

Refrigerate noodles in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat before serving.
