Spaghetti with garlic and olive oil (Spaghetti aglio e olio)

Spaghetti Aglio e olio in Italian simply means spaghetti with olive oil and garlic.. It is a delight for all garlic lovers and takes very less time to put together! 


Ingredients:
  • Spaghetti pasta - 1/2 lb. 
  • Water - to boil spaghetti 
  • Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
  • Pine nuts (toasted) - 1 1/2 tbsp
  • Garlic thinly sliced - 1 1/2 tsp
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Garnishing
    • Parsley - 1 tbsp
Method:
  • In a big pot, bring water to boil. Add  spaghetti pasta and sprinkle generous amount of salt (remember this is the only chance your pasta gets to absorb the seasoning)
  • In a flat pan, add the olive oil and garlic. Let the garlic turn golden brownish (this will help infuse the garlic flavor in the oil) stirring occasionally. 
  • Now add the pine nuts and stir it for  about a minute or until the pine nuts turn lightly golden. 
  • Now add the cooked pasta and season with salt and pepper. 
  • Garnish with parsley and serve hot 
  • Enjoy!!
Serving Suggstions:
I like to eat this pasta just as is (yummy garlic..) 

Nonetheless, any breadstick/cheesy toast/Garlic toast/bread will go well with this

Enjoy!!
