This week, we have a really interesting theme. I have decided to choose an international theme whenever Valli includes them. I love her creativity regarding the themes. This week we need to choose three capital cities with the same alphabet and cook a dish from the country. I selected R as the alphabet and chose three capital cities with R. For the first day it is Rome and the country is Italy. There was a reason why I came with R. I had today’s recipe in drafts and I wanted to use it for the international theme. So just to use the recipe I chose Rome and so Italy. Hehehe! Spaghetti is one of the Italian pastas loved all over the world. A thicker variety is known as the spaghettoni and the thinner version is known as the capellini. I am always amazed at the variety of pastas the Italians make. I have been watching Master Chef Australia and the Italian Nona Gina makes awesome pastas. Though I love to make them from scratch, the store bought packs make life easier.
When we go shopping, I make sure to buy some of Sruti’s fav ingredients. Last time we bought a pack of spaghetti. And on the pack there was this instruction for making Aglio e Olio. On the previous day, I read Archana’s post and was showing it to Sruti. She was so tempted and we decided to make it for Sunday’s lunch. As I didn’t have olive oil or cheese, I made the simplest dish using butter. Sruti was really happy because garlic is her new fav. The dish has so much of garlic flavour in it. As I added, the aroma was amazing. If you have olive oil, use it instead of butter. This is one of the easiest spaghetti recipes you can make.

This is quite an interesting theme. Waiting to see the two capitals you chose for this theme. Spaghetti recipe is so easy and yet sounds very flavorful.
That’s the beauty of some simple recipes right. Easy to make but at the same time very pleasing to all who have them as well 🙂
One of the easiest and very aromatic spaghetti, its our family favourite. Whenever i feel bored to make sauces for spaghetti i will definitely stick with this Aglio e olio.
I am sure my older one will love this. Let me check with her.
Butter + pasta + cheese combo made in heaven… I prefer butter than olive oil not that I don’t like it… Between tell me about Valli’s creativity in coming up themes. 🙂
This is one of those simple yet flavored spaghetti dish.
This is looking so beautiful .Simple one yet so delicious
That’s really fantastic that you had this in your draft, what a great idea…this dish is so simple and tastes amazing..what a lovely dish this makes!
Kids are so different in their flavor these days. My boys love garlic as well and beg me to use it in every dish. This sure is a garlic lover’s dish and with that butter, it should have been out of the world.
agilo e olio spaghetti looks perfectly cooked. kids love noodles and this is definitely a tongue pleaser recipe. I remember when I first had in pizza hut. by the time I went the second time, they stopped this product. now I can make my own.
