Just wanted to come back and say that I made your recipe jusnikki and my family loved it!!

I picked up some shrimp to add in when I make it this week. My daughter loves shrimp and I think it would be great in your recipe :)

I'm glad they liked it..

I agree, this is would be good with shrimp (which I don't eat, lol) or some other types of meat. I usually make it along with grilled chicken breast. But can easily eat it alone. Thanks for letting me know you liked it. :)

You've solved the question of what I'm making for lunch (which is the time the rest of you eat supper). I didn't make the pasta alla carbonara yesterday, and had 2 eggs for breakfast, so eggs again are out for today. I have also had almost my allotment of protein for the day (22 grams/55).

Jess, I made it with shrimp tonight and the pasta and sauce stole the show.......I love shrimp, but next time I won't bother with it. Good grief, did I really say I won't bother with shrimp??

The recipe is outstanding as written Nicky!! My husband went ape!

ps.....I used angel hair pasta

Nice recipe JN. Can olive oil be substituted for some or all of the butter? How many main course portions is you recipe intended for?
Aglio e olio can be dressed up in innumerable ways. For example, it can benefit from the addition of porcini and peperoncini.

YUMMY!! The only thing I might add would be a bit of fresh mince flat leaf parsley and a grind of hot pepper flakes.

Made this tonight. It was fabulous Nikki. DH raved. It reminded me of a clam linguini recipe I use. Sans the clams of course! I will admit, I added a small amount of seasoned sausage meat that needed to get used,(the rosemary when really well with that) but I could tell that it was a great recipe made as written. Thank you Nikki!
