About Pasta aglio e olio

Pasta Aglio e Olio is a classic Italian dish rooted in the cuisine of Naples. Made with simple ingredients, it features spaghetti tossed in olive oil, garlic, red chili flakes, and parsley, often garnished with freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano. This minimalist recipe highlights the natural flavors of its components, offering a quick, comforting meal without heavy sauces. Olive oil is a heart-healthy fat rich in antioxidants, while garlic offers potential anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting benefits. The dish's simplicity makes it low in processed ingredients, but it can be high in calories and fats depending on portion size and the amount of oil used. Additionally, the optional cheese adds protein but may increase saturated fat content. Ideal for vegetarians, this authentic pasta celebrates the essence of Italian cooking—fresh, wholesome, and flavorful. Moderation and pairing with a green salad can keep it balanced.
