Spaghetti Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino (spaghetti with garlic, olive oil and chili peppers) is a traditional Italian pasta dish that can be made cheaply without seasonal or store-bought ingredients, said to originate traditionally from the region of Abruzzo, although it is popular across the country.[1][2] Aglio e Olio means Garlic and Oil (one of the simplest and most popular pasta dressings) in Italian.
Usually served with spaghetti, the sauce is made by lightly sauteeing minced or pressed garlic in olive oil, sometimes with the addition of dried red chilli flakes or chopped fresh chili peppers (the peperoncini). Finely chopped parsley can be added as a garnish, along with pecorino or parmesan cheese.[3]
