I love this recipe! My mother used to make this in a regular base, we called it "Spaghetti aglio, olio con peperoncino"

I make something very similar to this. I tend to use dried red chillies, stir in a wee bit of soya butter into the pasta before adding the oily garlic and I add lemon juice in too. It's delicious, simple and so cheap!

That is one of my favourite dishes, so simple but so much flavour.:drool: (I haven't tried it with a bowl with flowers on but I imagine that enhances the taste.:lol:)

This sounds soo good! Quick, simple & easy, my 3 favorite things when it comes to cooking!:rockon:

After reading this recipe, I had to jump up and put some on to cook!
I can't wait to try it!

Thanks for sharing, bigginge!


(Okay, I wanted to come back & update on this. I actually fixed this for breakfast this morning and it was *very* good! I used more garlic than called for, but it was definately easy & tasty!)

I'll be bookmarking this one! Sounds great.

Good stuff! I made this tonight and it was wonderful. Thanks for the recipe. I used poblano peppers instead of red chilies because I had them on hand. I posted a pic of it in the food porn section:
