Pasta Aglio E Olio

Pasta Aglio E Olio / Spaghetti Aglio E Olio is a traditional Italian Pasta dish coming from Naples. Aglio means garlic and Olio means Oil.

The dish is made by lightly sautéing sliced garlic in lots of extra virgin Olive Oil with the addition of chili flakes and tossing with spaghetti. It sounds too simple to be good, but it’s among the best. Amazing dinner for the family.

We are pasta lovers. We love Lasagna rolls, Manicotti, cheese Cannelloni, veggie pasta bake, five cheese Ziti and many more. Pasta Aglio E Olio is one of the most basic and easiest Italian recipes. This is one of those recipes that you should always have in your back pocket b’coz its the quickest way to get a hot, tasty meal on the table.

This can be served with Salad and French bread. I love this pasta dish as is.
