Olive Oil - Olive oil is a lot like wine in that everyone has their favorite(s). And you definitely don’t want a bulb that has green shoots coming out of the top. Choose a garlic bulb with a very firm head, without any mold or soft spots. Garlic - For this recipe you absolutely need to use fresh garlic cloves. Just look for a noodle that’s made with 100% semolina flour, the flour of choice for high-quality pasta.

Really, any type of long, thin noodle will do. Pasta - I typically use spaghetti noodles in my olive oil pasta, but you can use fettuccine, angel hair, cappellini, linguine, and so on. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… When you’re preparing a super simple recipe, like this simple pasta sauce with olive oil and garlic, using the freshest, highest quality ingredients you can find is essential. This is all you need for a super simple classic olive oil pasta that’s easy enough for weeknight meals but still classy enough for a date night or entertaining guests. It’s not a dream - this simple pasta with olive oil and garlic comes together with just 3 ingredients: pasta, garlic, and a high-quality olive oil. What’s not to love about an easy, healthy, and inexpensive pasta dish?! Especially one that has JUST THREE ingredients that I can almost guarantee you always have on hand in your pantry.
