Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 25 mins | Serves: 4 – 6 | Author: Rohini Ramanathan
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio is a popular pasta dish from Naples. This pasta dish is straightforward. In contrast to other pasta dishes that are laden with creamy sauces and cheese, it is also quite easy on the stomach.
“Aglio” and “Olio” are the Italian words for “garlic” and “oil,” respectively.
This dish is prepared by sautéing galic in oil along with red pepper flakes and Italian seasonings. Then the cooked spaghetti is tossed in this oil and served warm. You can also top it with Parmesan Cheese.
This can also be included in a child’s lunchbox. One of our favorite dinners as a family is spaghetti aglio e olio.
