Spaghetti Aglio, Burro Ed Olio, Con Le Olive
"Spaghetti with Garlic, Butter and Oil, with Olives
I threw this together one night on one of my "No Beau to cook for, it's getting late to fix a complicated meal" nights, just grabbing whatever looked good. It turned out so good and I was so pleased with the results, it was pointed out to me on zaar I should jot it down. Very simple, very quick. It can be tweaked for preference too, next time I might add red pepper flakes. This makes one serving, but is easily multiplied for number of servings needed."

ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 pinch fresh marjoram, fresh is best, but whatever you have on hand
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 -7 kalamata olives
- 3 -4 fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
- fresh grated parmesan cheese
- pasta (I used spaghetti the first time I made this, linguine or angel hair would work too)
directions
- While spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a saucepan over medium low heat.
- After butter has melted, add garlic, marjoram and black pepper, stirring until garlic is soft; don't overcook the garlic, if it looks like it will finish before the pasta, remove from heat.
- Throw in kalamata olives so they can warm with the sauce.
- When pasta is al dente, drain pasta and add to saucepan with 'sauce', stir to coat.
- Put pasta in your bowl or on your plate, top with torn basil leaves and fresh grated parmesan.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
As my nickname might imply, one of my hobbies does have something to do with bikes. The motorized kind, I enjoy endurance motorcycle riding. I'm a big fan of car racing too, particularly the European stuff, road racing, and endurance car racing, not so much NASCAR, but no offense. The Beau and I get to take his car out once in a while for autocross and basically drive like speed demons and not get in trouble. I love driving in general and am one of the few nutz who enjoys shopping for cars.
But I also love to cook. Believe it or not, my mom doesn't think I can cook. But she couldn't cook, so that's probably how she got on that track. My sister and I were latchkey kids and learned to help in the kitchen at a young age and I consider cooking a great outlet for my creative bits.
I work full time but am in school on and off part time, plus try to keep up with current events and life in general, plus teach a weekly class to my co-workers, plus just hanging out with The Beau and all our good friends. Oh and I also pet/house-sit -- I used to do it for friends but recently hired on with a "company" and am now kinda one of their contractors. I'm a dog freak but don't have a good setup for dogs, so pet-sitting is how I get my dog fix. I have a kitty, she's 18 and at her age I figure she deserves a taste of whatever's on my plate.
