Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta and Noodle Recipes. (Spaghetti Aglio e Olio). No two spaghetti aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden-brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.
