Spaghetti Aglia OlioMy friends were picking olives this past weekend in New Zealand on Waiheke Island and then I had this dish at Momma Dolce's so thought I would post this simple recipe.

Two simple ingredients make a fantastic, quick dish which is one of my favorites.
Garlic and olive oil.

When you are tired and want to eat something quickly do this:
>Boil your spaghetti in salted water, make it al dente.

>In a seperate bowl chop 2-3 cloves of garlic and douse with 5-6 heaping tablespoons of olive oil more if you please. Use the best quality olive oil you can get as this makes a difference. Use extra virgin olive oil if you can.

>Add a few tbsps of the boiling water that is cooking your pasta, with a fork mash this all together so the garlic infuses in the olive oil.

>By the time the pasta is cooked your little olive oil concoction can be dumped into the pot, stirred up and served.

For those who like it spicy add some hot chili peppers, and salt and pepper to taste. Add fresh basil if you want to add another gorgeous, fresh flavour.

Et voila!
You have a delicious dinner...
