My family has begun referring to it as ‘Comfort in a Bowl’ since it’s always asked for at every gathering!

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (garlic and oil) is a timeless Italian classic, revered for its elegant simplicity and robust flavors. This minimalist dish transforms humble ingredients – garlic, olive oil, and pasta – into a surprisingly satisfying and aromatic meal that’s quick to prepare and deeply delicious.
