Alio e Olio

I love this dish. It was the first dish I had when I moved to Amsterdam and was also another dish that I tried endlessly to match on the flavor. I was trying to be a bit health smart but it wasnt getting me anythwere. I ended up using way too much butter, way too much Olive Oil but the end result was just - well, heavenly.

Alio e Olio (Translation means Garlic and Olive Oil)

Ingredients:
1/4 block of Good Quality Butter
4 Tbsp good Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Chilli flakes or 1 small fresh red chilli
2-3 Cloves Garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp chopped fresh Parsley
Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Good sprinkling of Parmesan Cheese to serve
200gms per person of Pasta - Spaghetti, Penne or any of your choice

Method:
Bring some salted water to the boil, add the pasta and cook according to the packet.
Meanwhile gently heat up a frying pan and add all of the remaining ingredients aside from the parmesan and Parsley.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and place into the butter and oil. Mix well, finally stir through the parsley.
Serve the pasta into bowls and top with grated Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
