I am a huge fan of Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino. Mackerel is my favourite fish. Those two combined can’t go wrong. This dish is absolutely easy to cook and DELICIOUS!!! Today I added Onion as well. It is optional and you can add other vegetables instead, but the cooked Onion adds slight sweetness to this dish.
