This takes minutes to throw together, I have made this many times on a busy day it's very good for a quick easy meal --- feel free to add in some cooked chicken, shrimp or your favorite veggie to make it a more complete meal --- I have left the chili flakes as optional if you like some heat add them in with the garlic and adjust to suit your heat level., all amounts may be adjusted to taste.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cooked pasta (use your choice of pasta)
1-2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional or adjust to heat level)
1/4 cup olive oil (or use 2 tablespoons each butter and olive oil)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt & freshly ground black pepper (lot's of black pepper!)

Directions

1
Place the cooked pasta in a bowl; keep warm (do not rinse pasta).
2
In a small skillet saute the garlic in olive oil until golden and tender (try not to burn the garlic) then pour the oil with the garlic over the cooked pasta.
3
Season with salt and lots of black pepper.
4
Add in the Parmesan cheese; toss to coat then serve immediately.
5
Delicious!

We really loved this one for dinner last night. I used a full 16 ounces of rotini pasta and probably 10 cloves of garlic. I also increased the crushed red peppers (we love heat and garlic!) and cut the oil a tiny bit. I didn't measure the cheese...but probably used closer to 3/4 cup. Added salt and tons of pepper. WONDERFUL! My husband ate most of it all by himself. To the person who stated this was very boring...did you salt and pepper it? You still need your seasoning on this one to get the full flavor of the pasta. So if you don't still season this with salt and pepper the way you do plain buttered noodles, for instance, you probably will be disappointed. Do it the right way...and WOW! Thanks Kitten! Loved it!

Less than 5 stars? I don't think so!!! Made this for dinner with Santa Lucia sausage and grilled squash (since we have so much of it now) and it was a HUGE hit. I didn't measure the olive oil, just 4 turns round the pan, so I think it was less than 1/4 cup. Don't skimp on the fresh garlic, be sure to salt the water when you cook the pasta, do use the red pepper flakes, and this dish is perfection! Thanks, Kittencal, for another great recipe I know I'll make over and over again.
