Discover how to make authentic spaghetti aglio e olio, an Italian classic that wins hearts with its simplicity and flavor. This pasta recipe, ideal for beginners and lovers of quick cooking, proves that with a few ingredients you can create extraordinary dishes. Originating from Naples, this preparation is based on the perfect combination of golden garlic, extra virgin olive oil, chili pepper, and fresh parsley, mixed with al dente pasta to create an unforgettable culinary experience.
Our version will guide you step by step to achieve the exact point: sliced garlic is slowly browned in olive oil, releasing its aroma without burning, while the chili adds a spicy kick that you can adjust to taste. The trick is to sauté the pasta in the pan with a little cooking water, creating a creamy emulsion that coats each strand. Perfect for a weekday dinner or a special lunch, this spaghetti aglio e olio recipe is versatile: you can add grated cheese at the end or substitute oregano for fresh parsley if you don't have it. Surprise your family with this Italian delight!

We are going to remove them a little before the tooth, they will finish “cooking” in the pan that we already have hot with olive oil.
In the pan that we have hot, add the whole chilli pepper (if you want more spice, you can crush it). A matter of taste...
Add the garlic that we have previously laminated and a little chopped parsley.
We want the garlic to brown, as soon as we have this color, WE TURN OFF THE FIRE.
Add the pasta to the pan and a pot of cooking water.
Saute everything, chilli pepper, garlic, Spaghetti and the rest of the chopped parsley.
