:"For the Italian dish, see Spaghetti all' aglio, olio e peperoncino"."Aglio e Olio" is an EP by the Beastie Boys, released in 1995. On it, the Beastie Boys return to their roots of punk rock. "Aglio e Olio" means "Garlic and Oil" (one of the most simple and popular pasta dressings) in Italian. The title is a (possibly unintentional) pun on "olio", which is an obscure term for a musical medley. [http://www.yourdictionary.com/ahd/o/o0066400.html]
