Olive oil with the long strand

A long strand can carry a simple accompaniment as well as a fuller sauce. De Cecco suggests fish, meat, vegetables or cheese, and also spaghetti dressed only with olive oil and Parmigiano. Try that last combination when you want to give the pasta itself more space on the plate.
