Spaghetti Aglio E Olio Challenge

What I've been doing with my time lately: been busy applying for jobs (outcome: 2 job interviews coming up :D and going to a Dutch class every Tuesday evening. 

The evening course calls for an early dinner and something that goes really quick. Like Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. 

So, I devised a little challenge for myself: making up 5 variations on Aglio e Olio. If you want to start working out your own variations here's my basic recipe: Basic recipe Aglio e Olio

Here comes the first one in the challenge!

1. Aglio e Olio with Walnuts

1 batch of basic Aglio e Olio
1 handful walnuts

Prepare the Aglio e Olio according to the basic recipe, you can add a chili to the oil if you want it a bit hotter. Chop up a handful of walnuts and add it at the stage when you're mixing the oil mixture with the spaghetti. 

Enjoy!

Belgian Beer Top 3

Back from one weekend vacation in Ghent, Belgium. I had a blast! And tried many beers ;)

My top three was:

1. Vedett White
Fruity and really refreshing for the hot summer days. 

2. Gruut
One of the city beers of Ghent, the blond is delicious. 

3. Mort Subite Lambic
This one is here because I was suprised on how good it tasted, I'm not a lover of Lambic, but this one wasn't overly sweet. The bar where we had this was a really cute coffeebar by the canal called Mrs. Beanzz Barazza.
