Spaghetti Aioli Recipe

BY CHEF YUSUF (JOE) VARIAWA @ VELVET ON GRANT

AIOLI is a a traditional yet simple recipe for pasta , deriving from Naples in Italy , the dish is made lightly by sauteeing sliced minced or pressed garlic in some olive oil sometimes with the addition of dry roasted chilli flakes . And ofcourse tossing some spaghetti . The beauty part of this dish is that it takes less then 15 minutes to make , it’s quick , easy and wholesome.
We like to change it up abit and add a little bit more flavours AND some colour !
