There has been some debate over the origin of Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. Although this pasta dish indisputably originates from Italy, many people think that Spaghetti Aglio e Olio was created in Naples. However, it is more commonly believed that the dish originates from the southeastern portion of Abruzzo. Spaghetti Aglio e Olio translates to "spaghetti with garlic and oil." This is truly a simple dish, although a few ingredients can be added to spruce it up. Sometimes, pecorino, or hardened sheep’s milk cheese, is added for a kick of flavor. Other times, garnishes will be added for color, like parsley.
