Ingredients

Serves :
  • 1 small bundle of long, thin pasta--spaghetti, linguine, whatever


  • extra virgin olive oil


  • freshly ground black pepper


  • a few shakes of red pepper flake


  • 1 tsp italian seasoning, crushed in the palm of your hand


  • a few shakes of granulated garlic

Directions

  • Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente.

  • Return the pasta to the pot.  Over high heat, add in everything but the Parmesan cheese and stir it around madly until the seasonings are well distributed and the pasta is nearly dry.

  • Sit in your bathrobe and eat it out of the pot.
