Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Garlic and Roasted Almonds Recipe

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,

Neighbourly is my last resort. I need to find a home for Tully Gumble. I rescued her when she was about 6 wks old, she is now 16months. She is speyed, microchipped, vaccinated and defleaed.
I house trained her immediately as had to keep her inside until I could get her speyed.
Shortly I will have no where to live, so am having to find house sits, majority do not allow pets.
She is shy so will take a week or so to get used to a new environment. She would do well with an older lady who wants a talkative companion, or an older gentle couple. She is spoilt, sleeps inside at night and always follows me around telling me stories.
