I do not believe angel hair pasta gets as much love as all the other pastas, and I do not understand why not. I prefer it to spaghetti and it’s my staple pasta when I make pasta aglio e olio. I like the thinness of it and can easily be used for an array of pasta dishes. This recipe is a touch on the classic aglio e olio, which is just pasta cooked simply with garlic and oil. What could be better? I have also included grilled chicken and blistered cherry tomatoes in this recipe, and is fully packed with flavor. Try yours today!
