This dish is a firm favourite as well as being cheap and easy to make. It’s based upon the classic Italian spaghetti aglio e olio but has a couple of wee tweaks thrown in just to enhance the already superb flavours. Some chopped bacon or pancetta adds a hint of salt as well as a bit texture. The spring onions and parsley enhance the classic oil and chilli substance of the dish. Throw it together and tweak it as you like…. enjoy!
