Al aglio olio!

Today is Sunday and time for PASTA. I couldn't find any restaurant offering this dish. I mean, they can call it "al aglio olio" but doesn't have any garlic like this. I went to North Beach in San Francisco where all the Italian restaurants are without any luck.

The trick is to cut garlic cloves in small cubes and fry them in olive oil. The have to be a little bit crunchy but not burnt. I used to have it in Argentina in a restaurant called "Pippo" which wasn't an expensive one but the meal was just DELICIOUS! And... don't
forget Parmesan cheese on top!

Thanks to Ilana's input, I forgot to mention that
the garlic is on top of Linguine with spinach and chives. That's why the pasta looks green...

At first glance I thought you have added Pesto to that pasta, because of that green look. Since you didn't mention it though, I assume you it's some type of a green brand of pasta?

Thanks Ilana for your input! The green past is linguine with spinach and chives.
