What attracts and fascinates Italian cuisine is its unique simplicity and authenticity. As one of the pillars of Mediterranean cuisine, it is full of taste, aromas and colors, as well as traditions that take us to the middle of the picturesque, sunny landscapes of Italy. One of those dishes that perfectly capture the essence of Italian cuisine is spaghetti aglio olio , or spaghetti with garlic and olive oil. Spaghetti aglio olio is a simple but extremely tasty dish that is a staple of Italian home cooking. It uses ingredients that are the basis of most Italian dishes - garlic and olive oil. Its roots go back to the south of Italy, where these ingredients are the basis of many traditional dishes. Thanks to its simplicity and speed of preparation, spaghetti aglio olio is often served as a late meal after a long evening out with friends.

About me
And short story about LEET DIET

As a choreographer and aerial gymnast, I had always been interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diets had been my hobby, but I never truly enjoyed them until I discovered the Keto diet. After reading numerous books about how our bodies work and the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet, I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. The Keto lifestyle quickly became my passion, and I began experimenting with new recipes and meal plans. That's when I decided to share my knowledge with the world and created Leet Diet, a website filled with delicious Keto-friendly recipes and helpful tips for anyone looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
