1 lb of pasta, any variety, cooked according to package
4 (or more) Tbs. Butter
2 Tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Garlic, about 1 Tbs. chopped, more or less as you like it
1-2 Tbs. dried Basil
Parmesan cheese
Salt
After you dump the pasta in the colander, set the pot back on the heat, but turn the heat off if it's not a gas stove. Use the residual heat to melt the butter and heat the oil, saute the garlic and then the basil. Dump the pasta back in and stir till saturated. Plate and grate as much Parmesan cheese as you like.
So incredibly easy and delicious. I invented this dish years ago one night after coming home from my neighborhood pub. My friends and I needed something to eat. It quickly became a late night staple. It makes a lot of food, fast, and vegetarian. But you could easily serve it with Shrimp.
