"Same recipe, new photos! We added new images to this recipe (May 2024). A classic for a reason! Aglio e olio makes a great late-night lazy dinner and is easily whipped up with just a handful of pantry ingredients. Pasta water is the secret to shiny pasta sauces. Be sure to reserve some of the pasta water when draining (about 50 ml per person), and add it to the sauce at the end, mixing it in with the pasta in a hot pan to create the creamiest sauce. For this classic recipe, this technique is essential to the success of the dish (along with a lot of garlic, of course)."
