Bring a large pan of water to a boil and add 1/2 tsp salt. Cook the spaghetti noodles for 8 minutes until al dente. Drain the noodles, drizzle with olive oil, and set aside.

-
Heat 3 teaspoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and fry until golden brown. Add the chopped green onion and sauté until fragrant.
-
Lower the heat and add 1 tbsp red chili powder. Stir-fry for a few seconds. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp red chili paste. Mix well. Stir in 5 tbsp tomato spaghetti sauce and cook for a minute. Add 1 cup of pasta water and bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
