yum yum yum yum yum! I added about 2 Tbsp butter, some oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and about 1 extra tsp of crushed red pepper to the garlic, EVOO mix. Also threw some Italian bread crumbs onto the pasta. The parmesan is key. This was SO good! I'm going to try it with the marinated grilled shrimp from this site, which is also amazingly good!

This is a regular dish at my house, but with a few additions to make it a balanced meal. When the pasta is almost done, I throw a bag of frozen broccoli and about 2 cups of thawed frozen pre-cooked shrimp with the tails removed. Drain, toss it all with the oil mixture and top with parm. Delicious and impressive enough for company... If they don't mind it hot!hot!hot!

This recipe wasn't what I was expecting. It was very bland. I had to add salt and pepper to it for it to be seasoned. Once the salt and pepper was added, it was still just okay. I served it with chicken breast I pan seared with lemon pepper seasoning and garlic bread. Overall it was edible, but I don't think I'll make it again. It wasn't a very memorable recipe.

I made this exactly as per the recipe, I thought it was great, would have given it 4.5 if I could, although my husband gave it only a 3 (said the flavour was ok but just wasn't crazy about it overall). I found it perfectly coated and just the right spicy for me. Would be great with a grilled cajun chicken breast or something. Will definetely make this again (when hubby is not home for dinner). Thanks for the great recipe : )

Love this! I make it w/ diced garlic, butter, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper. Then over the pasta I sprinkle bread crumbs before pouring the hot oil. It adds a little crunch to the pasta. Serve w/ salad and maybe garlic bread, yumm! I'm addicted right now!

This was a good basic recipe, but I added more ingredients to suit my taste. I added some tomatoes, red peppers, green peppers, left over grilled jerk chicken, and some cajun seasoning. I also used whole grain pasta. It was delicious this way. I'm afraid it would be a bit bland if I would have followed the recipe.

I loved it. I have, in the past had variations of this recipe but I like this one. Growing up in an Italian family my mom made it with anchovies in the oil with the garlic and pepper. A bit too strong for me. Loved your recipe, good job!! :) (if you do choose to do it with the anchovies they do dissolve and make it more spicy and yummy, I just personally dont like that)

Also known as Spaghetti e Aglio Olio e Peperoncini, this is one of my favorite pasta dishes! I recommend substituting a fresh, thinly-sliced red peperoncini (chili pepper) for the crushed red pepper; adding a few tablespoons of fresh, finely-chopped flat-leaf parsley (also known as Italian parsley); using a good, flavorful brand of olive oil; and using the best Parmigiano-Reggiano you can afford. Add the chili slices for the last minute or so to the hot garlic and oil, and add the chopped parsley when tossing the oil and pasta together. --In the past I have had the opportunity to sample this dish made with dry ingredients. However, preparing this dish with fresh ingredients makes it a stand-alone meal. All you need is a glass of Pinot Grigio and your favorite fresh bread. Mangiare bene!

This was a spicy flavorless pasta. If you add additional ingredients it can be good but then it's not the recipe. I think I'll keep looking for a pasta dish that's good as is.

Tryed it your way and it rocked! Played with the recipe the second time and added a couple twists. Try adding feta in place of parmesian. Also try adding sun dried tomatoes. YUM

This is a great pasta dish . You can be very creative with this recipe. I added chicken and basil. So good! Next time I plan to use shrimp and a little lemon to change it up.

A great, fast recipe that can be made with stuff I usually keep on hand, and a welcome change from tomato sauce or alfredo sauce. I added a little more red pepper though, because I like it spicy. Perfect, thanks!

Add a little lemon juice, a few leaves of chopped basil and you've got one heck of a meal. I also added grilled chicken to the meal by chopping it into bite size pieces and mixing it in with the spaghetti. For an even lighter fare, try Rozini brand noodles for an extra fiber kick

We were a little disappointed in the lack of flavor. Mine seemed a bit bland. I will try again though and add a few more spices.

This was so-o-o good! Hubby said give it a 4 star....I say 5 star. Only problem I found was that the Hot! Hot! Hot! really wasn't so Hot! Next time this Texas gal will add more Crushed Red Pepper! I did add butter like another reviewer stated. I just couldn't stop eating it! Thanks, Kathleen for a great recipe! Will make this simple recipe over and over again.
