I doubled this and used regular ole spaghetti. It was wonderful! I used 2 T minced garlic from a jar, and added 1 t red pepper flakes. So easy to make--So good to eat! Thanks Samuel!

This is one delicious, quick and easy dish which uses ingredients I always keep on hand. I used some angel hair pasta and 3 teaspoons refrigerated garlic. Right before serving I tossed in some chopped roma tomatoes and topped with some grated parmesan cheese! Wonderful! Thank you Samuel Holden for sharing this recipe!

I adore garlic (can never have too much)!. To simplify (and since I always have it on hand) I used two teaspoons of already miced garlic and a sprinkling of oregano.

I grew up with a similar recipe...but my mom always added fresh or dried basil to the garlic oil just before tossing with the spaghetti. It's really a winner! We call it garlic spaghetti, a good side to serve with steak.

The classic "aglio e olio" sauce... However, I personally like it better with some cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley thrown in at the last minute. Tip for people who love spicy: put in some crushed, died chillies together with the garlic.

tried this recently and loved it. did add a can of stewed tomatoes and minced garlic and it was very good. then added a package of hamburger to it for my hubby who wont eat anything without meat and it was still very good.

My dad makes soemthing very similar to this, but they weren't home when I needed the recipe so wa-la. I did add about 6 cloves of garlic (I'm a freak). Very flavorful and yummy - great as a left-over too. Hubby loved it. Served it with my Chicken w/Rosemary & Thyme recipe. YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY.

I have been making this for years! Talk about the ultimate comfort food for me. I like to top with parmesean cheese and fresh parsley, if I have it. I also use butter instead of olive oil. This recipe is awesome because I always have these ingredients on hand.
