Spaghetti with garlic is delicious

Spaghetti with garlic may not sound very appetizing to some but believe you me, it is very tasty indeed! Not only will you taste the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil but also the seasoning. All of which combine to make a mouth-watering dish. I have been making this pasta dish for my family for years and they still love it! The great thing about spaghetti is that you can always use it as the base for a quick meal. Italian food would not be the same without spaghetti.
