Pasta is my love language. Well, one of many of my love languages. I found this simple recipe online and read that spaghetti with Garlic and Olive Oil is a staple in Italian households and is often served late at night after an evening out with family and friends. It’s a simple recipe to toss together when you’re short on time. Since the ingredients are minimal, it’s a great buildable dish.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 package of spaghetti
- Salt, to taste
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 cup of spinach
- Oregano to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to instructions on box
- Right before pasta is done, heat the olive oil in a sauce pan, add the garlic. Stir until garlic is lightly browned. Careful not to burn
- Add spinach to olive oil mix and sauté until spinach begins to wilt.
- Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add olive oil and spinach mix and stir.
- Top with oregano. Serve immediately
This dish is easy to customize. You can add red pepper flakes, parsley, basil, or even parmesan. Do what suits your tastebuds.
Let me know if you try this recipe and share how you customize it.
