To Serve:

Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
Oil and garlic on pasta is amazing! When I add a vegetable I usually chose broccoli which grabs onto the oil and grated cheese for an amazing bite! This time around I picked green beans which turned out well. Try some other vegetables and enjoy.
For some additional heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes.
