Spaghetti Aglio E Olio
PREP TIME 4 minutes
COOK TIME 11 minutes
TOTAL TIME 15 minutes
All the flavours of the classic Spaghetti Aglio E Olio but pimped up! Adding slices of crisped up parma ham adds the best flavour and throwing in a handful of edamame, peas or broad beans helps pack in more veggies, fibre and also makes it super pretty if serving for loved ones.

Tasty Tips
Crisp the parma ham in the oven for the best texture.
Use good quality olive oil and fresh chill if possible. If you don’t have fresh chilli you can use dried chilli flakes.
For a traditional Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, leave out the edamame and parma ham. I like to add them to add more veggies and the parma ham adds great flavour.
