What You'll Need
- 1 pound egg noodles
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh basil
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Add basil and garlic mixture and remaining ingredients to pasta; mix well and serve immediately.
Note
How about including a side of of delicious Broccoli Italiano for a complete meal?

This strikes me as a really nice side dish, but it's missing a couple of elements to make it into a complete meal. I like the idea below of serving it with some chicken breasts. Sliced ham would also be a good option, as would some nice juicy hamburger steaks. I'd definitely recommend looking at the broccoli recipe referred to in the notes. That would make a nice complement to the dinner.

Didn't have the flavor I thought it would. If I make this again, I'd be sure to add more/different spices to it to give it a little more "spiciness".
