The dish is made by lightly sautéing sliced, minced, or pressed garlic in olive oil, sometimes with the addition of dried red chili flakes (in which case its name is spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino), and tossing with spaghetti. Finely chopped parsley are usually added as a garnish, along with grated parmesan or pecorino cheese, although according to most traditional recipes, cheese should not be added.[1]
