Ingredients

3/4 pound thin linguine (linguini fini)
Salt to taste if desired
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely shredded fresh basil leaves
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus additional cheese to be served on the side

Steps:

Bring about 3 quarts water to a boil and add linguine, stirring down so the pasta is completely immersed in the water. Add salt and cook until tender, stirring strands often, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Return pasta to the kettle it was cooked in, and add butter, olive oil, basil, pepper and 1/2 cup cheese, and toss to blend. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese on the side.
