Spaghetti Aglio-e-Olio with Mushrooms and Olives

Image
I am always on a look out for recipes that are easy and quick to put together. One of my favorite amongst such recipes is of classic Spaghetti Aglio-e-Olio . Simple boiled pasta drizzled with garlic infused olive oil, a dash of chili flakes and some Parmesan makes for a perfect week night dinner when I am too tired or lazy to make anything elaborate. While this simple and vintage recipe in itself is such flavorful and aromatic, yet at times it may feel a little boring to have it the classic way. That is the reason, to make it look little more vibrant, I sometimes add few veggies to it. And today, I am here with my veggie version of this traditional Italian Spaghetti - Spaghetti Aglio-e-Olio with Mushrooms and Olives . Enjoy !!

Salmon has been one of the go-to fishes in our house and makes for a super easy choice, be it for a lazy weekend or for a quick late night dinner. While we were in India, we actually never got a chance to devour this beautifully moist pink fish, which is available widely here in Singapore in the non-veg section of all the super-markets. I still remember, the first day I cooked it, I was a little skeptical of how it would turn out, but, frankly speaking, both me and my husband fell in love with it the very instant it got on our plates. Since that day 2 years back, till the day today, this fish is cooked at-least once every week at our home with different variants of marinades and sauces; the recipe I am sharing today is one of such experiments that turned out simply amazing. Pictures may not be so impressive (as I am not a professional photographer 😜), I can still guarantee you of the taste that was just mind-blowing. Do try it out once.     Lemon & Herb Pan Seared Salmon wi
