Ugly e Olio

 A friend demanded I teach her husband how to make Aglio e Olio (pronounced as "ah-li-oh eh oh-li-oh" ). I didn't have the foggiest idea how was it correctly done. All these while, I tossed the pasta in olive oil and salt. So I found out that an oil with garlic and chilly base was first prepared before dumping in cooked spaghetti.

This version has no chilly because my little one don't really work well with spicy food. I used capsicum to mimic a chilly like nuance to it.

 Dice up tri coloured capsicum

Dice up garlic and onions

Stir fry the capsicum and garlic until the garlic turns golden. I don't really like them charred because it promotes sore throat.

 Is this even a picture ? anyway, that's the spaghetti being boiled with some salt

Marinate the chicken the way you like. In this case it was basil onion and salt.

 The capsicum and garlic in oil is becoming riotous and we need to pop in the spaghetti soon.

Abduct some spaghetti into a cup of water and taste to see if it is the correct texture for eating

Quickly strain the spaghetti when it is ready.

 Pop spaghetti into the capsicum and stir fry

 Meanwhile, the chicken is being cooked in a separate pan

Boil the potatoes and carrots with some basil and salt

 Spaghetti Aglio e Olio made !

 Strain the potatoes and carrots

 I have left over juice from chicken chop

 So I added milk into it to make a bit of gravy or sauce or whatever you call it.

Nothing escapes my fascination for tomatoes

 so there ! Spaghetti in beehive hairstyle and everything else

My chicken was over cooked but nobody knows. Spike it with salt and pepper and if possible a tinge of blue cheese here and there!
