Aglio Olio Pasta Sauce


Spaghetti Aglio Olio

Great Sauce with Spaghetti or Tagliatelli

This Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino (garlic, olive oil and Chilli) recipe is one of our favorites. It can be fantastic or not depending on the quality of your ingredients.

It's worthwhile to Make your own Pasta - it's really easy and makes all the difference. If you don't have time to make your own, any good quality dried Spaghetti will do - just follow the instructions on the packet.

The sauce is super-easy to make - so easy in fact, that a lot of people don't bother to try it. Do try it - but Beware - it's highly addictive, you'll be wanting it every day!

Here's our own Italian - Mediterranean version - hope you enjoy it.
And, by the way,  I've picked out some must-have kitchen basics just for you.  ... Pam.

Spaghetti Aglio Olio



Aglio Olio Method

OK this is REALLY Easy.
  1. Heat your olive oil and add the garlic (not too hot - you don't want the garlic to color - just soften and cook nicely).
  2. Add the Chilli and stir.
  3. Now add the herbs - stir and remove from the heat.
  4. Meanwhile cook the pasta - if you make your own using our Recipe  bring a large pan of water with plenty of salt in it to the boil and add the Spaghetti.
  5. Bring it back to the boil and cook for one minute.
  6. If you use dried pasta - just follow the instructions on the packet.
  7. Reheat the sauce - add the drained Spaghetti - Toss and serve, with a sprinkle of salt, a good grinding of black pepper and generous amounts of the grated Parmesan.
