Ginger Garlic Linguine



My daughter can't stand tomato sauce, she always asks for buttered noodles.  Unfortunately, I can't stand plain old buttered noodles.  I guess I'm not a kid anymore.  Here are buttered noodles a little less boring, a great side dish everyone can be happy about.

12 ounces uncooked linguine
5 green onions finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Cook linguine according to package directions.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the onions, ginger, garlic, basil and cayenne pepper in the butter for about 4 minutes or until the onions are tender.

Drain the linguine; add to skillet and toss to coat.  Top with cheese.  I usually add a little extra cheese... I also put extra on the table.
