Once again, it was sunday and I had some how forgotten to buy groceries ahead for that day! In Germany all stores are closed on sunday, and you might think now that I have moved here 1 1/2 years ago, I might have gotten the hang of that. But there are just those days, where my mind is somewhere els.
So I looked into the pantry to see what I have to work with. So I gathered my Pasta, and decided to make aglio olio, when I discovered a jar of dried tomatoes in the far corner of my pantry. That is when I hat a lightbulb moment and decided to make this delicious tomato algio olio. I was so surprised how incredibly yummy this turned out and was actually glad I had forgotten the groceries for sunday.
So in case you forgot your groceries or are just do lazy to go out and purchase some, make this delicious aglio olio! I promise you won’t be sorry.
