Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

A great dish after a night of consuming some libations, cheaper and faster than fast food. And great way to help soak up that booze you consumed earlier. You stumble in the door, craving something to soak up all that alcohol. You’re in luck – you’ve got a quick and easy solution – Pasta Aglio e Olio!

This classic Italian dish is the perfect solution to your late-night hunger pangs. It’s easy to whip up, requires minimal ingredients, and takes just minutes to make. All you need is some spaghetti, garlic, olive oil, butter, red pepper flakes, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.

First, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. As the pasta is cooking, heat some olive oil and butter in a large skillet and add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant and lightly browned.

Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the garlic and oil. Toss to coat the spaghetti with the garlic mixture. Then, add the parsley and Parmesan and toss to combine. Serve the pasta aglio e olio immediately, topped with additional Parmesan, if desired.
