About this recipe
Peperoncino (or Spaghetti aglio, olio e) is the generic Italian name for hot chili peppers, specifically some regional cultivars of the species Capsicum annuum and C. frutescens (cayenne pepper and Tabasco pepper, respectively). The sweet pepper is called peperone (plural peperoni) in Italian. Like most peppers, the fruit is green or yellowish-green when young, and ripens to a red color.
This is a very simple, easy to make and delicious dish. You can add some more arrangements like adding cheese or hot sauce to adjust the taste based on your preference. Hope you get to try this delicious dish!
