My family has started calling it ‘Comfort in a Bowl’ because it’s always requested at every get-together!

Spaghetti aglio e olio is a classic Italian dish that translates to ‘spaghetti with garlic and oil.’ It’s a simple yet flavorful recipe that has its roots in Naples, Italy. This dish is perfect for those busy weeknights when you want something delicious without spending hours in the kitchen. With just a few ingredients, you can create a comforting meal that feels like a warm hug. Plus, using a slow cooker makes it even more convenient, allowing you to focus on other tasks while dinner practically cooks itself.

This spaghetti aglio e olio pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad and a slice of garlic bread. If you’re looking to add a bit of protein, grilled chicken or shrimp would complement the flavors nicely. A light white wine, such as a Pinot Grigio, can also enhance the meal, making it feel like a special occasion even on a regular weeknight.
