    Aglio E Olio is an easy to make Pasta dish that needs only a few ingredients and takes just a few minutes.

    Kale and Broccoli Aglio e OlioFor Day 2 of this week’s blogging marathon under ‘Italian sauces’, I tried a very simple pasta sauce called Aglio e Olio. It literally means garlic and oil in Italian. This is a traditional dish originating from Naples. Even though the dish name sounds a little complicated with all those vowels, the dish is very simple to make and takes less than 30 minutes to make.Kale & Broccoli Aglio e OlioTraditionally this dish is made with spaghetti, garlic and olive oil. Pepperoncini or crushed red pepper flakes can be added to give some kick to the dish. From what I’ve read, cheese is not added in the traditional version, but it sure makes the dish extra special.Kale and Broccoli Aglio e OlioThis has got to be the simplest and easiest pasta dish ever. All it needs is pantry staple items and is you skip the cheese, it is a 100% vegan dish. A little bit of attention is required while making this dish so that the garlic doesn’t burn. Also right amount of pasta cooking water needs to be added to get the creamy consistency to the sauce.Kale and Broccoli Aglio e OlioI added some kale and broccoli to my Aglio e Olio to make it more colorful and to avoid making a salad on the side. Some chickpeas or Italian style baked tofu would be a great addition to this pasta. I used bucatini pasta — a thick hollow long pasta that holds the garlicky sauce and it is just awesome experience to slurp on the noodles. Do try it, you will know what I’m talking about.

      Super like Pavani, aglio e olio is my weakness and the addition of kale sounds as a super healthy way to sneak them. Lovely plating there.

      Haha... the problem with aglo olio is that it sounds so easy that you will it is a breeze but you can royally mess up by over cooking the spaghetti... been there, done that 🙁 Yours looks so good, all separated, and it is amazing how such limited ingredients can give such delicious flavors...

      I have seen most Italian dishes are relatively less complicated to make and yet are very flavourful. Your aglio e olio pasta is looking very inviting.

      I have never seen Bucatini pasta here but I am loving the texture of it. Aligo e olio is my favorite of all, simple yet so flavorful.

      oh my GOD, Pavani this is the one which I had in pizza hut long back. Now they have stopped serving this. I make it often as I love garlic flavor in olive oil but never new what it is called. Thanks for sharing.

      It is commonly said that beauty lies in simplicity. Now I can say that taste lies in simplicity. Enticing capture and beautiful bowl
