Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (Italian for “spaghetti with garlic and oil”) is a minimalist Neapolitan pasta dish made by sautéing garlic in extra-virgin olive oil and tossing it with spaghetti, chili flakes, and parsley. It exemplifies cucina povera—simple, inexpensive cooking that delivers deep flavor from pantry staples.
