I got an idea last night when I was looking through my fridge to see what I can whip up with and spaghetti aglio olio came into my head! Remembering the old times when I used to cook this a lot during my uni times. My friends love to order Domino's Pizza but I'm not a pizza fan (I know this is weird, who doesn't like pizza??! well, ME!). However, the pizzas always came with few sachet of chili flakes and I love to collect them for my cooking purpose (budget savings)! So, these sachet of chili flakes were my key ingredient to cook my spaghetti aglio olio.
Anyway, I made them last night and it was quick and easy! Thought of sharing the simple recipe up here. This is a rough recipe, not exact recipe ( I always go with my gut or "cooking with eye" as some people would say depends on how I like them).
You will need: (for 4 person)
4 Garlic Cloves, finely diced
5 Bacon, diced
1 tbsp of Olive Oil
2 tsp of Chili Flakes (depends on how hot you want it to be)
1 cube chicken stock (I used OXO cubes)
350g of Spaghetti
water (for cooking spaghetti)
So cook your spaghetti as what the packet told you to and add the cube of chicken stock into the cooking water. On the other hand, heat your frying pan with the olive oil and add garlic in. Cook garlic for 1-2 minutes (when the garlic started to turn golden), add the diced bacon in. When the bacon are cooked, stir in the cooked spaghetti (keep the chicken stock). Mix everything in the pan till it's even then add the chili flakes and pour about 2tbsp of chicken stock in. Reduce the sauce and voila, dinner is ready!
This was a hit, I cooked them last night and my husband loved it. I didn't manage to take a picture of our dinner because we were so darn hungry. But, I manage to take a picture of the left overs and here it is:
Have a good weekend!
