My First Recipe

Hey Everyone. So I'm finally going to post my first recipe. This came to me one day, probably last year or the year before, when we didn't have much to eat in the house. At heart, I'm a pasta, butter, and onion lover =) And thats what we had in the house. So I threw a few things together and presto!!! I made culinary magic... I shared it with my mom and she loved it too. So below is the recipe. Twerk it if you need to. I won't mind ;-)

1 box bow tie pasta
3 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
1/2 an onion, chopped
1 sm. garlic clove, chopped
1 sm. palmful basil
1 sm. palmful parsley
1 sm. palmful oregano
1 pinch thyme
1 pinch tarragon
2 grinds pepper
Salt for pasta water (optional)
Parmesan cheese (optional)

Cook pasta according to box.
In skillet, melt EVOO and butter on medium heat.
Stir in onions and garlic until onions are slightly translucent.
Add herbs and pepper, lower heat to medium low, and stir.
Drain pasta and put in bowl.
Pour herb mixture on top and stir gently.
Sprinkle cheese on pasta if desired.

Enjoy!!!
