italy..

in my quest to start learning everything i can about italy,  i heard chili oil is extremly popular.  most people always have it on hand. this one is so simple and everything home made is better.

1 cup of good olive oil
2 Tbsp of red pepper flakes.
simmer on low heat for 5 minutes
cool and pour into bottle.
add whole dried red peppers for a beautiful finish.

use it on pasta, fresh vegetables, or for an amazing dip for fresh bread.

love sent, xo
