Spaghetti Aglio E Olio

Spaghetti Aglio E Olio translates to 'spaghetti with garlic and oil'. A very basic pasta recipe which is so refreshing and addictive. It makes for a great side or quick everyday meal since it comes together in only 15 mins. You can totally add your choice of protein to it.  I love it with shrimp. But traditionally it is made just with some olive oil, fresh garlic and Parmesan.

Main Ingredients Of Spaghetti Aglio E Olio

1. Spaghetti: Any kind of long thin pasta or noodles will work for this dish.
2. Olive Oil: It is one of the main ingredient so use a good quality one.
3. Garlic: The aroma of fried garlic is what makes this dish so addicting for me. Use loads of garlic if you love it as much as me.
4. Red Chili Flakes: This is for just a hint of spice which is does overpower this dish at all.
5. Parmesan Cheese: I prefer Parmesan or Grana Padona for this dish.
