About
Aglio Olio is an Italian sauce made up of garlic and oil (aglio-garlic & olio-oil) and has a long history. It is mentioned in the writings of Pliny the Elder (AD 23-79), A Roman, wrote that when garlic is “beaten up in oil and vinegar it swells up in foam to a surprising size”. This was how the ancient Romans ate their pasta before the the tomato was brought to Europe by the Spaniards. I love this recipe and it is my go-to meal for days when I don't have time to prepare anything in advance.
