A touch of freshly grated parmesan cheese can be sprinkled on the top. It is a classic Italian dish made with spaghetti, sauteed garlic, olive oil, crushed hot red pepper flakes, and chopped Italian parsley. I was hooked after the first bite and now when I am feeling lazy and don't feel like whipping up an elaborate meal, this is my go-to pasta. It was such a simple recipe but I loved how the garlic and olive oil were the stars of the pasta. But the cookbooks and a ridiculous amount of Nestle chocolate I had to carry back home were definitely worth it!Īs I thumbed through the pages, the very first recipe I wanted to try was this Spaghetti Aglio e Olio which means Spaghetti with Garlic and Oil.
I basically wore about 4 outfits on the plane. If only there was a hidden camera in my hotel room that night as I tried to stuff everything into one little carry-on. One was Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen, which has authentic Italian recipes. I made the trek back to the hotel holding several heavy cookbooks. I thumbed through stacks and stacks of cookbooks while I devoured some desserts. This didn't stop me! I am one resourceful girl and there had to be a way. Then I found a large sign stating, "50% off all cookbooks." Are you kidding me? I just hit the jackpot! Well, except for the fact that I had ZERO room in my suitcase. I could spend an entire day there just eating my way through it! I found an area with cookbooks lined up the wall which is my kind of reading. It is a two-story foodie paradise filled with all kinds of restaurants, bakeries, and you can even pick up your fresh produce while eating gelato. If you've never been to Eataly, put it on your list. This is what foodies like me dream about. Since I had never been to Chicago, I couldn't wait to venture out into the city. I started to walk the streets and I stumbled upon Eataly, a culinary mecca that I am obsessed with in New York City, and I found it in Chicago. It was a whirlwind trip and I arrived the night before the event. It will go down as one of the best days of my life! We baked goodies and then delivered them to a large homeless shelter in the area. Years ago I flew to Chicago to bake with Nestle for their "Bake Some Good" event. It is a big bowl of comfort food that is so simple and quick to prepare. I have heard that many chefs during cooking school or after a long shift on the line, they come home and make Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. When you are too tired to even think about fixing dinner, this is what you whip up.
Spaghetti tossed in sauteed garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and fresh parsley.
