    Aric Ross's Note:

    This is a wonderful mixture of basil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. I serve this a main course usually with a side of my favorite bread. A 5-star dinner that you can complete in 15 minutes! This is my favorite pasta dish of all time. Be sure to try it hot and cold, both versions are fantastic!
