In medieval Italy, they practiced a kind of separate diet: feudal lords ate meat, and peasants had to invent dishes from what was at hand. Pasta aglio-olio (spaghetti with garlic and oil) is a legacy of that time. It is remarkable in that from a minimum of components you get a fragrant and flavorful dish, and it is not at all difficult to prepare.
