Spicy Spaghetti Aglio Olio



Spaghetti Aglio Olio is one of the simplest and easiest pasta recipe in the world. Another way to enjoy spaghetti as it best since its lighter than bolognese or alfredo.  I love the spiciness from the chilly flakes and the fresh red chilly. Instead of chopped parsley or oregano that we usually find in our pasta i decided to give a twist to my version of Aglio with chopped kafir lime leave and i love the fresh citrus smell from the humble herb.

This pasta dish is definitely a comfort food and i always cook some extra for the late night supper. I love my my heat and that is another valid reason to have this spicy pasta at anytime of the day. The mushroom add an earthy fragrance and taste to this simple dish. Everyone should try this spicy spaghetti Aglio Olio at least once and you'll never regret.

1 box spaghetti
1/2 cup mushroom(any kind)
3 cloves garlic
1 red chilly,chopped
2 tbsp chilly flakes
