Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Aglio e Olio is popular name and is made by lightly sautéing garlic that is sliced/ minced/ pressed garlic in olive oil. Alio e olio is garnished with dried red chilli flakes and finely chopped parsley. You can also garnish the spaghetti with grated parmesan or pecorino cheese, which again according to some traditional recipes, cheese should not be added. I have not added cheese.
