Pasta with olive oil and garlic

Pasta with olive oil and garlic is a simple and classic recipe that is part of the Italian culinary tradition, specifically from the Lazio region, whose capital is Rome. This preparation, commonly known as "Spaghetti aglio e olio", is appreciated for its simple but delicious flavor, which highlights basic ingredients like garlic and good olive oil. In Latin America, although its original Italian name is not always preserved, it is frequently called "Pasta with garlic and oil" or simply "Spaghetti with garlic and oil", depending on the country.

This dish originates from Italian peasant cuisine, where the scarcity of ingredients forced the creation of dishes with few elements. Its popularity has spread and been adopted by different cultures for being quick, economical, and tasty. It is an excellent example of how gastronomy can be simple and yet very comforting.
