Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
recipe

A classic Italian pasta dish that is simple, flavorful, and quick to prepare.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

- 200g spaghetti
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions:

1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
