I went through a stage of not eating pasta – because I got sick of tomato-based sauces and I didn’t want to go with a not-so-healthy cream sauces. Then I discovered a middle ground with the wonderful combination of extra virgin-olive oil, garlic and parmesan cheese! If you want to share this meal with someone, then just double the ingredients.
