A timeless Italian classic made with garlic-infused olive oil, chilli flakes, and perfectly cooked spaghetti. Finished with a generous shower of Darima’s aged Parmesan, this dish becomes richer, more aromatic, and full of deep umami flavour showcasing the purity and craftsmanship behind Darima’s cheeses.
