The recipe Spaghetti Aglio e Olio  is a well-known pasta classic of Italian cuisine. The spaghetti with garlic gets additional spiciness from peperoncino and delights the cook and guests. The finely grated Parmesan reduces the strong taste of garlic and chilli. My simple recipe is inspired by a cooking colleague from Milan with whom I visited common cooking stations. I would be happy if you share the recipe on Facebook and Pinterest and wish you every success with this simple and delicious spaghetti with garlic recipe.

1. Original Recipe Spaghetti aglio e olio

The original recipe for spaghetti aglio e olio differs from many recipes found on the Internet. What is special about the original? The golden-brown sweated garlic is needed for the typical taste formation. So let the garlic sweat on a bit more time and give the garlic the right shade. Later this develops to the incomparable Spaghetti aglio e olio taste.

2. Spaghetti aglio e olio with Prawns

I love this dish and if you want to prepare shrimps for the spaghetti aglio e olio, I recommend you to make King Drawns as large as possible, which you either roast whole or fried and then sliced on the spaghetti. I consider shrimps and other small shrimps unsuitable because they dry quickly.

High heat is required to fry the prawns, always preheat the pan well. Coated pan or iron pan, that remains a matter of philosophy and the equipment in your own kitchen.

6. Tips for Spaghetti aglio e olio

When preparing with olive oil, garlic and chilli you can add an anchovy fillet, finely chopped. The anchovy fillet should melt in the heat and thus contribute to the taste.

You can easily stretch the garlic chili oil with some white wine (50 ml) and vegetable broth or chicken broth (100 ml). The spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino are then not quite as “oily” and taste lighter.
