Aglio e Olio Pasta, also known as Garlic and Olive Oil, is a traditional pasta dish made with simple and fresh flavors. It truly is more than the sum of its parts. Spaghetti aglio e olio is one of the world’s top ten dishes and it’s not hard to understand why! With just a couple of ingredients and barely any time, you can serve up one of the most traditional Italian dishes that exist. The most important thing to remember is to cook your pasta al dente and use the best quality extra virgin olive oil you can find. Give it an extra kick with fresh or dried peperoncino and it really is the perfect match.

You will love this quick and flavorful pasta that is simple but tasty, making it a winner for weeknight dinners.

We love a weeknight-friendly pasta that easily conforms to the ingredients we have on-hand to create a satisfying meal. Some nights, a bowl of pasta like this one — that is simple but packed with flavor — is just what we need. This dish is pantry-friendly pasta that comes together in just a few minutes. Feel free to add leftover roast chicken or meat to this pasta, or a handful of chopped kale or other greens to make it heartier. You can also sauté a handful of shrimp with the garlic and olive oil for something that resembles scampi. And other fresh herbs, like basil and oregano, work nicely in this utterly flexible recipe.

This simple garlic pasta recipe is a reminder that, in some cases, less truly is more. Isn’t that the best news?
This recipe is my twist on the classic Italian spaghetti aglio e olio, a simple but soul-satisfying Italian dish of garlic (aglio), olive oil (olio), and parsley tossed with cooked pasta.

Olive oil and garlic pasta is the perfect solution on nights when the bright lights of a fast-food chain beckons. It’s a super easy pasta recipe that takes no time at all to make.

Wine
Open up a nicely chilled bottle of white wine such as a Prosecco, Sauvignon Blanc or Verdicchio - a native grape variety of the Le Marche area.
White Star - Verdicchio
Highlights of the Marche wine region are wines made from Verdicchio grape variety. The best known are the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and the Verdicchio di Matelica. Fresh, fruity wines with powerful acidity and often with a typical almond taste on the finish. In recent years, the quality of Verdicchio wines has increased enormously, and instead of formerly rather light wines, you now have higher-quality wines with a certain finesse.
Besides Verdicchio, the almost forgotten white variety Pecorino is gaining popularity in Italy, producing fine-fruity, very pleasant-to-drink wines.
Other noteworthy white grapes used in production are Pinot Bianco and Malvasia Toscana. They also produce excellent sparkling wines made in the traditional method - the Vernaccia di Serrapetrona, and the Verdicchio Pian delle Mura.
