Spaghetti Aglio e Olio / Spaghetti Aio Oio / Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Garlic & Red Chilli Flakes

I was quite surprised when i came across this recipe, because i always thought that pasta taste good when it is had with some strong sauces like tomato sauce or cheese sauce. But this recipe calls for only garlic, chilli and olive oil. So i decided to give it a try. Yesterday i was starving in hunger, so decided to try this because it takes only minutes to make. Frankly speaking the minute when the pasta is done the flavourful oil is done. Then you have to just toss the pasta in this and dig in straight away.

 I used Del Monte Spaghetti and Del Monte Olive oil..The reason behind this is, since this recipe calls for only minimal ingredients, you should use the best of that. So i used those good stuffs..In this recipe you can taste the real meatiness of the spaghetti without overwhelming the taste with those spicy sauces..

 

 I made this specially for The Del Monte Blogger Recipe Carnival by  Indi blogger. You can read more about their products and stuffs by clicking here.. I hope you will love this as much I did and tell me how it turned out for you.
