Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio pairs al dente pasta with gently toasted garlic and olive oil for a silky, aromatic bite, lifted by a touch of red pepper heat. Fresh parsley brightens each forkful, while Parmigiano-Reggiano adds savory depth and a glossy finish. It’s a timeless pasta that’s ideal for a relaxed weeknight dinner or an elegant, unfussy meal with friends.
