Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Garlic and Roasted Almonds Recipe

Naturally Healthy

Picture this: an ancient Greek philosopher wandering around, plucking olives from trees, and pondering the secrets hidden within those little green orbs. Fast forward to the present, and we're still obsessed with olives - particularly the golden nectar they produce: olive oil.
Today, I'm diving into the glorious world of olive oil. That's right, that golden elixir that has been cherished by civilizations throughout history. Not only does it add flavour and depth to our dishes, but good quality olive oil also comes with a plethora of health benefits.
I've also whipped up a simple pasta dish, a soul-satisfying dish of spaghetti aglio e olio, which basically means olive oil spaghetti. It's the culinary equivalent of a warm hug from Nonna.
With just a few ingredients like garlic, chilli flakes, and a generous pour of good quality olive oil, you can create a dish that dances on your taste buds.
Plus, it's a quick and easy option for those busy days when you need a meal faster than your delivery app can say “arrivederci.” This recipe has the added crunch of almonds too, and you can make a dairy free, gluten free version.
Grab your spaghetti fork and the recipe here.
Happy Cooking,

What do you think the speed limit should be around schools?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Switching to variable vehicle speed limits outside a dozen Hamilton schools is potentially “gambling with children’s lives”, says the city’s deputy mayor Angela O’Leary.

The schools currently have permanent 30kph limits but the Government has ordered a change as part of its push-back on speed limits lowered over the past few years.

What do you think the speed limit should be around schools? Tell us in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
