Product Review: Ariosto Herb Mixes

Today I would like to talk about an italian company called Ariosto.

To be honest I was really skeptical because I usually don't use herb packages. I like to be able to decide myself how much of what I want on my pork chop. But these ones are different. They are actually GOOD!

They already contain salt, which I adore cause the salt I buy in the States never satisfies me (it's always too salty or not salty enough and I end up just not using it cause it drives me insane).

So, Ariosto. They deliver all over the world and they are worth to try. Here's a video recipe that showcases their Garlic and Hot Pepper mix, my favorite :-)


Find their products on their website http://www.ariosto.it

Enjoy!

Italian Fast Food - Spaghetti Garlic, Oil and Hot Peppers

Or as they say in Rome: Aio, Oio e Peperoncino!
It might sound strange but you have to try it to believe how good it actually is.

It's the most plain and simple pasta you could possibly make and it's perfect for those days when there's nothing in the fridge...!

Instructions:

-Brown the garlic in a pan with some hot peppers and extra virgin olive oil. Be careful not to burn it.

-In the meantime boil some salted water and cook your favorite brand of Spaghetti, mine is DeCecco, because it doesn't overcook easily.

-When the pasta is ready toss it in the pan with the flavored oil and fry it for a minute or two.

-Serve with parmigiano, or by itself.

Delicious.


Enjoy!
