Spaghetti Aglio, Burro Ed Olio, Con Le Olive image

Spaghetti with Garlic, Butter and Oil, with Olives I threw this together one night on one of my "No Beau to cook for, it's getting late to fix a complicated meal" nights, just grabbing whatever looked good. It turned out so good and I was so pleased with the results, it was pointed out to me on zaar I should jot it down. Very simple, very quick. It can be tweaked for preference too, next time I might add red pepper flakes. This makes one serving, but is easily multiplied for number of servings needed.

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 pinch fresh marjoram, fresh is best, but whatever you have on hand
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
6 -7 kalamata olives
3 -4 fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
fresh grated parmesan cheese
pasta (I used spaghetti the first time I made this, linguine or angel hair would work too)

Steps:

  • While spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a saucepan over medium low heat.
  • After butter has melted, add garlic, marjoram and black pepper, stirring until garlic is soft; don't overcook the garlic, if it looks like it will finish before the pasta, remove from heat.
  • Throw in kalamata olives so they can warm with the sauce.
  • When pasta is al dente, drain pasta and add to saucepan with 'sauce', stir to coat.
  • Put pasta in your bowl or on your plate, top with torn basil leaves and fresh grated parmesan.
