Tips and Comments

• Garlic is an important factor in Aglio Olio Pasta, hence, it is important that the right amount of garlic is added.
• Adding Onion increase the taste to this dish as I have to say that it is not easy to master a plate of tasty Aglio Olio.
• I prefer Linguine than Spaghetti for Aglio Olio but this is a personal preference!
