I had the honor of learning from one of the BEST cooks I’ve ever known in my life—il mio cugino, Roberto! I’ve loved agilo e olio (garlic and oil) ever since I first tried in Rome, back in 2015. But I could never seem to replicate at home. My cousin Roberto offered to teach me how HE makes it (he prefers it with no broth). And it was magical. But better than the pasta was getting to spend time with Roberto in his small kingdom, the one he inherited from his mother. I loved talking with him, smelling his food, listening to the clatter of pots and pans worn with love, watching the sunlight pour in through the kitchen door. I loved making this video and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. If you want Roberto’s recipe for this iconic pasta, comment “recipe” below and I’ll send it to ya! #cookingwithRoberto #Italianfood #aglioeolio #pastarecipe
