Ingredients
  

  • 200 g Vermicelli
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)

Notes

  1. Don’t Overcook the Vermicelli: Keep a close eye on the cooking time to avoid overcooking the vermicelli. It should be al dente, tender but with a slight bite.
  2. Use Fresh Garlic for Extra Flavor: Fresh garlic adds a rich, aromatic taste to your vermicelli, but be careful not to burn it when sautéing.
  3. Experiment with Protein Add-ins: For extra protein, you can easily add chicken, shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas to make the dish more hearty.
  4. Add More Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach to the mix for added flavor and nutrition.
  5. Seasoning is Key: Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs and spices to make it your own.
