Noodles with Basil

• 225 g/8 oz noodles
• 40 g/1½

Boil the noodles in plenty of salted water for 10–15 minutes or until they are tender, but not mushy. Drain them and rinse under the tap to remove any excess starch. Return them to the saucepan with the butter, garlic, salt and pepper, and basil. Shake over the heat until hot.
