Peasant’s pasta — olive oil and cheese

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

Ingredients are the key to a good dish, especially olive oil. And especially in this dish because of the few ingredients. This is a really great weeknight dinner when you’re tired and don’t want to whip up a storm. The olive oil and Parmesan cheese—and you could say the black pepper too—are so important in this dish. The smells are just so inviting. I could eat a whole pound of this pasta!
