Spaghetti Aglio E Olio
Ingredients
  • First, a brief chat about the ingredients needed to make spaghetti aglio e olio (pronounced “ah-lee-oh eh oh-lee-oh”)…
  • Spaghetti: Or linguine, fettuccine, or any other shape of pasta noodle you prefer.
  • Olive oil: Since olive oil is the main ingredient in this sauce, I really recommend using the best-quality extra virgin olive oil you can find. It will make a difference!
  • Garlic: I admittedly like tons of garlic in this pasta (like, closer to 10 to 12 cloves). But it is traditionally made with between 4 to 8 cloves. So you do what sounds best to you!
  • Crushed red pepper flakes: Traditional spaghetti aglio e olio is made with fresh peperoncini (red hot chile peppers) that are commonly found throughout Italy. But since they are harder to find in other countries, I have written this recipe using dried crushed red pepper flakes, which we will simmer in the olive oil to bring out their best flavor.
  • Optional garnishes: The two most popular toppings for this classic Italian dish are finely-minced fresh parsley and/or freshly-grated Parmesan. I love adding both, but they are totally optional.
  • Detailed ingredient amounts and instructions listed in the full recipe below.
