Coming back to this recipe,if you are unaware of this recipe and what's Spaghetti Aglio e Olio then here's excerpt from Wikipedia:
Spaghetti aglio e olio (pronounced [spaˈɡetti ˈaʎʎo e ˈɔːljo]; Italian for "spaghetti [with] garlic and oil") is a traditional Italian pasta dish from Naples.
The dish is made by lightly sauteeing sliced, minced, or pressed garlic in olive oil, sometimes with the addition of dried red chili flakes (in which case its name is spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino), and tossing with spaghetti. Finely chopped parsley can also be added as a garnish, along with grated parmesan or pecorino cheese, although according to some traditional recipes, cheese should not be added.[1]
What are the ingredients of this recipe?
- Spaghetti(I used Angel Hair pasta)
- Garlic:I used lots and that's a key ingredient
- Olive Oil: Another ingredient that adds so much flavor to this recipe. You can use half-and -half Butter and Olive Oil too.

- Parsley: Use fresh Parsley and if you don't have use dried too.
- Red Pepper Flakes: Adding Red Pepper / Chili Flakes add an amazing flavor kick.
