Spaghetti aglio e olio ("spaghetti with
garlic and
oil" in Italian) is a traditional Italian pasta dish, coming from Napoli, as it is a variant of the original one: Spaghetti alle vongole.
The dish is made by lightly sauteeing minced or pressed garlic in olive oil, sometimes with the addition of dried red chili flakes, 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.
