Sometimes, I don't quite find the time even think about what to prepare for dinner, let alone to go shop for my ingredients and cook. On days like these, I have to make do with whatever I find in the cupboards or fridge.
One of the simplest recipes to follow which requires hardly any ingredients but is so rich in flavour, is also one of my favorites - Spaghetti Aglio, Olio e Pepperoncino!
It takes no effort whatsoever to prepare this dish, it's literally just a case of boiling some pasta and tossing it in an oil mixture. Yet, the flavour is so fantastic it probably doesn't even compare to many dishes which take an eternity to prepare.
Therefore, on weeks like this one, where I have been crazy busy, I find this dish not just to be the 'easy' way out of preparing dinner, but also lovely to devour after a hectic day! Simply delicious!!
