Herbed Angel Hair Pasta

I made this as a side dish for Chicken Marsala (check tomorrow for that recipe!) and even though it's simple and seemed like it was going to be a sort of "throw away" side dish (meaning I thought it was just going to be a reason to put more sauce on your plate but not be anything to write home about...) it turned out so flavorful and tasty that I'll share.

Boil a box of angel hair pasta according to the package directions. While that's cooking add a handful each of chopped chives, thyme, and Italian parsley to 1/4 cup of olive oil in a saucepan and heat for a couple minutes. Drain the pasta and pour it into the pan along with about 1/4 cup of the pasta's cooking water, mix all together. Remove from heat, add 2 Tablespoons of butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. If the pasta seems dry add a bit more olive oil and/or butter. Sprinkle with grated parmesan.

Makes about 8 servings.
