Translation- Garlic & Oil. Simple title, simple recipe! (well simple after translation). This recipe has been made in my family for years! My mom used to make this for the kids, but I loved it too! It is so simple and healthy!!! Garlic has to be one of the healthiest herbs of all mankind!!! It is almost a miracle herb!!! I have been told that my Sicilian great grandfather ate garlic plain, just ate cloves of it. And in his 80's was told by a doctor that his heart was as healthy as a young man in his 20's. (that's what I've been told) Nonetheless, garlic is great for your heart!! And so many other things-

Same with olive oil, so good for us! It's not only wonderful to eat, but great for the skin.

Anyway, here's the family recipe!
1 pound thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 or 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin (depends on how much garlic you like)
garlic salt to taste ( I use about a teaspoon)
pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Parmesan cheese
While water is boiling and before you add noodles, put oil in pan over med heat. Add garlic, dried oregano and garlic salt. Stir oil frequently until it boils, (about 10 min) turn heat down to low and boil softly for just a few minutes. Garlic should be golden color not brown!!! Take off heat and finish noodles. Pour oil mixture over noodles, enjoy!
