My husband loves all kinds of spaghetti. He can eat pasta every day. Although, he has his top go-to. He particularly enjoys this Spaghetti Alla Siciliana. The combination of fiery hot pasta mixed with lots of garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, chillies, and olive oil is simply gorgeous! The bonus is this requires only five ingredients to throw together, and this is ready in no more than twenty minutes!
On our anniversary, my husband and I are planning to travel to Italy. It’s one of the top places we would like to go. My husband is super excited because he wants to experience authentic Italian spaghetti. When my sister went home from her travels, she brought us this Spaghetti Alla Siciliana in a small Tupperware container. My husband instantly loved this spaghetti, so I searched for the recipe. From then, we are made this regularly, and this has become his forever obsession!
