Spaghetti Aglio e Olio is spaghetti with garlic and oil a speciality from Naples, Italy.
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.
You will also like to add Fresh Pistou, a Pesto with a Difference to spaghetti. Try it.
I started out making Spaghetti Aglio e Olio as it is much enjoyed in Isreal. Then I realised that Itlay also begins with I. This is my share for #BM 93 as 1 Alphabet 3 Countries!
