Midnight Pasta
A dish that is very common in my home town of Mola Di Bari, Italy... and probably in most towns throughout Italy, this dish is delicious, quick and easy to make. So fast in fact, that if you find yourself hungry at midnight, (or any time), you can be eating this in the time it takes to boil the pasta. This is why we call this Midnight Pasta, although it is often referred to as, pasta with garlic, oil and pepper, and tomato. Or, Aglio Olio e pepperoncino e pomodoro.
