The simplest of all pasta. How can a recipe be so easy to make and taste so luxurious?
Aglio = Garlic
Olio = Oil
This basic recipe has no vegetables added, but when they serve the same in restaurants either Mushrooms or Broccoli is added. How can explain the exorbitant cost otherwise?!
Ingredients for 1 person:
Pasta (preferably Spaghetti) - 150 gms
Olive Oil - 5 tbsp
Garlic chopped - 1 heaped tbsp
Chilly flakes - 1 tsp
Holy Basil to garnish (optional)
Method:
Boil the pasta in heavily salted water till cooked.
Warm the olive oil in a heavy bottomed vessel and add the garlic.
Once garlic sizzles and starts turning golden, add the chilly flakes.
Add the (cooked and) drained pasta and mix well.
Serve garnished with chopped basil leaves.
A side of crusty bread will soak up the beautiful oil!!
