Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

This month for the Secret Recipe Club i was assigned Wendy's blog. A Day in the life of a farm. I must admit as  I browsed through Wendy's blog I couldn't help envying her. Wendy seems to have a farm life that I have always dreamed . Growing her own food, having chickens around, fresh eggs to enjoy. Wow!
I picked the recipe Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. It is simply so easy to whip up though it has this exotic tongue twisting name . As for the taste... My little boy polished it all.  I did manage to get a wee bit in my mouth before he attacked it. Very simple combination of flavours, the garlic, olive oil and parsley blend perfectly. A must try pasta.
