Aglio e Olio (Linguine Pasta with Salmon)

| Posted on |

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A classic Aglio e Olio is one of the simplest pasta dishes to make with simple ingredients like spaghetti, olive oil, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Aglio e Olio literally means olive oil and garlic in Italian. However my youngest daughter cooks with linguine instead (a flatter version of spaghetti), chilli powder, chopped parsley and salmon for more flavours. You could also add bacon instead of salmon, which is my preferred choice, future video perhaps..
