Too salty.
You used salted butter or too much fish sauce. Use unsalted butter next time.
Clumpy cheese.
You added the cheese while the pan was boiling. Heat kills emulsion.
The Method
GARLIC
Melt butter. FRY the garlic (20 cloves) over low heat.
We want soft, sweet garlic, not crispy chips. Go low and slow.
UMAMI
Add the Sauce Mix to the butter. Simmer for 30 seconds.
TOSS
Add cooked noodles to the pan. TOSS to coat. Pitfall: If the noodles are dry, add a splash of pasta water. You need moisture to distribute the sauce.
CHEESE
Remove from heat. STIR in the Parmesan (½ cups).
The cheese should melt into the butter sauce, creating a creamy, savory coating. It should not be stringy.
