Spaghetti Aglio E Olio | 10 minute recipe | 6 Ingredients

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and lower in calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is heart-healthy.

Boil a saucepan of water and add salt.

Add spaghetti to the boiling water and push it down to submerge.

In a frying pan over medium heat, add a generous amount of olive oil.

Slice 6 cloves of garlic and add them to the olive oil, cooking slowly to avoid burning.

Once the garlic is soft, add a good pinch of red pepper flakes.

Chop fresh flat-leaf parsley finely.

When the pasta is cooked, use tongs to transfer it directly from the water to the frying pan, bringing some pasta water with it.

Mix the pasta with the olive oil and garlic, adding more pasta water if needed to create a sauce.

Grate parmesan cheese into the pasta, mixing it in to create creaminess and shine.

Finish with the chopped flat-leaf parsley and serve.
