Aglio e Olio is a classic Italian pasta dish originating from Naples. Its name translates to "garlic and oil," highlighting its simple yet flavorful ingredients. The dish typically consists of spaghetti tossed in extra virgin olive oil, sautéed minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and parsley, with optional grated parmesan or pecorino cheese. Aglio e Olio is celebrated for its simplicity and quick preparation time. Olive oil, a key ingredient, is a rich source of healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which promote heart health. Garlic adds a burst of flavor while offering anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. However, the dish can be high in calories when cheese or excess oil is added. For a lighter version, scaling back on oil and skipping cheese can make it a more balanced option. Aglio e Olio captures the essence of healthy Mediterranean cuisine with its minimalistic yet wholesome ingredients.
