Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb spaghetti or spaghettini
5 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
6 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp olive oil
3-5 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
2 c cream
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp rosemary
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 and 1/2 c freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

1. While the spaghetti is cooking in rapidly boiling, salted water - 10 to 12 minutes should make it tender, especially if using spaghettini, finely chop the parsley. Melt the butter in a large saucepan; add the olive oil.
2. When butter mixture is hot, add the minced garlic and cook over low heat - do not let it burn. Add the parsley, cream, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper and continue to cook over a low heat. Continue to cook over low heat until spaghetti is done.
3. Drain spaghetti and add to the skillet. *It may not look super appetizing at this point, but presevere! Add a little bit of cheese at a time, stirring it well into the mixture with a wooden spoon, keeping the heat low. By the time all of the cheese is added, it will look quite appetizing, and will taste even better than it looks! Serve at once, sprinkled with additional grated cheese and/or parsley, if desired.
