The key to fantastic Italian food is simplicity. You do not need packaged sauces and canned vegetables in order to create Italian food that the whole family will love. Instead, make sure that your Italian food remains fresh and robust, and skip anything packaged or frozen that will only detract from true Italian taste. The following recipe is for Pasta Con Aglio et Olio (pasta with garlic and oil), and it could not be easier.
You Will Need: One package Angel Hair or Linguine pasta; one bottle of high quality olive oil; some sun dried tomatoes; fresh garlic cloves; sea salt; Kalamata olives; and pepper.
Method: Cook the pasta until al dente (do not flush with cold water!). While pasta is cooking, add two tablespoons of olive oil to a warm skillet, and them add a few tomatoes; two cloves of garlic; a handful of chopped olives; and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix: After the pasta has been drained, add the skillet mixture. Mix all ingredients well.
That’s it. See how easy and fresh this Italian dish was? You can serve this with some fresh Italian bread, or garlic bread, and watch you family devour this tasty dish. The trick here is to use top ingredients, so don’t skimp on the olive oil. If you ever travel to Italy, you will see various renditions of this dish, but they will all be spectacularly fresh. It really doesn’t take a lot to make a fantastic meal, and this dish will soon become one of your family’s favorites.
