Spaghetti Aglio e olio

Spaghetti aglio e olio is a traditional Italian pasta dish from Naples. It is a typical dish of Neapolitan cuisine and is widely popular. Its popularity can be attributed to it being simple to prepare and the fact that it makes use of inexpensive, readily available ingredients that have long shelf lives in a pantry.

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, 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. Check out chicken piccata recipe too.
