Spaghetti Aglio Olio with fragrant Ham

Spaghetti Aglio Olio is one of the pasta that I like the most, just with these simple ingredients-Olive Oil, Garlic and Basil leaves, easy, fast and good.

-These are my favourite holders to store Spaghetti ingredients, Spaghetti Holder ( see the cute rabbit and dog !!) and Olive oil glass bottle.

- Since Spaghetti Aglio Olio is a bit plain in taste, usually I like to pan fry some ham with light soy sauce till fragrant and add to the spaghetti

  53. Hi, nice blog!
    A tip or two over pasta cooking, you can add salt into the pasta boiling water, 1 tablespoon full to 1.5 liter of water. This way the pasta will absorb the salt while cooking and it tastes better than adding salt into the dish later. :)

    Also, get a good bottle of extra virgin olive oil, drizzle some over the cooked dish and mix well before serving.

    You can try substitue dried chili with ready chili flakes.
