Linguine With Olive Oil & Parmesan

Submitted by Hanny

"Sometimes I enjoy my pasta with a heaping mound of sauce and other times I'm in the mood for something a little lighter and simpler. This recipe is just the ticket for that. Loads of flavor and not a lot of fuss. This dish is quick and easy and would work well as a side for a heavier dish. Goes great with a glass of riesling.... or two. Enjoy!"

Yummy dish. I had to use dried herbs except for the basil and the flavors all complemented each other nicely. Thanks Hanny for a nice side dish. Made for Bargain Basement Tag.
