Aglio e Olio is a classic Italian pasta dish originating from Naples, celebrated for its simplicity and rich flavor. Its name translates to “garlic and oil,” highlighting the two key ingredients. Traditionally made with spaghetti, this dish features a light sauce crafted from olive oil, thinly sliced garlic, red chili flakes, parsley, and occasionally, grated Parmesan cheese. With no heavy cream or meaty additions, Aglio e Olio is lower in saturated fat compared to many pasta dishes, making it a heart-friendly option when enjoyed in moderation. Olive oil is a good source of healthy fats and antioxidants, while garlic offers anti-inflammatory properties. However, this dish can be calorie-dense depending on the amount of oil used, and its lack of protein may necessitate pairing it with a lean protein or plant-based addition for balanced nutrition. Simple yet flavorful, Aglio e Olio is a testament to healthy comfort food.
