Garlic an Oil For busy days, like I had today, this classic Spaghetti Aglio e Olio makes a perfect meal. It’s fast, easy and delicious and should take no longer than 15 minutes to prepare.

This dish is definitely one of my favorites. The secret to it’s delicious taste is buying the best extra virgin olive oil you can find and I use a touch of fresh chopped mint leaves to give it an added flavor.
