This classic Spaghetti Aglio e Olio is the ultimate simple meal. Using just pasta, garlic, olive oil, and chili flakes, this flavorful and satisfying dish is ready in 15 minutes.

Spaghetti aglio e olio (Italian for spaghetti with garlic and oil) is a traditional Italian pasta recipe from Naples known for its simplicity and inexpensive ingredients. Unsurprisingly, the main components of this pasta dish are aglio e olio (garlic and olive oil).
What I love about this recipe is that it’s super quick to make (ready in 15 minutes!) and is super flavorful and satisfying. You can enjoy it on its own or accompany it with a simple cucumber tomato salad .
