Alio e Olio: Weeknight Staple


Being busy grad students with not much of a life outside research (I jest, but then again, not that much). Our days end pretty late, and by the time we get out of class/ lab, it's pretty dark out, even at 5pm (yah, that's Winter for you, people). So it's kinda depressing, hunger-cum-grouchiness-inducing (Did I mention that I can get reeeally grouchy when I'm hungry?) So here is a weekday night staple we have every week or so. Some people may claim that it's very simple to make but it took quite a few trials before we got our Alio Olio the way we like it. Sorry you purists out there, in Singapore it is referred to Alio Olio. At least it's still commonlty found, for here I'm only seeing cream-based or tomato-based sauces.
