Simplest Pasta Dish

To those who think that making pasta is a big hassle, I reckon this dish would change your view. I made this during a lovely afternoon a few days back when I was busy rushing for my studio submission and presentation. Hence, I guarantee, this one is really easy to make, and taste really good!



Ingredients: (serves 1)
150g spaghetti
3 cloves Garlic (coarsely chopped)
1 tsp Dried Oregano leafs
1 tbsp Butter
5 Fresh Basil Leafs (can use more, finely chopped)
3 tbsp Extra Light Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste


Method:
1. Boil a pot of water, add dried Oregano leafs and a pinch of salt, followed with spaghetti and cook until desired tenderness. Remove from heat, drain water and add butter to melt, mix well.
2. In a sauce pan, dry-toast the garlic, add olive oil and salt, sautee over low heat, stir in cooked spaghetti and mix well. Stir in fresh basil leaf before right before removing from heat. Done. Serve hot or cold. Top with any extra sauce but it is delicious enough with the salted olive oil.
