Date added: 2021/03/21

===Ingredients===
  * ½ cup butter (1 stick)
  * 1 cup heavy cream
  * 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (not canned "shakey cheese", the cellulose prevents melting)

===Method===
  -Bring salted water to a boil for pasta, add cream and butter to a wide and tall frying pan on low heat.
  -When butter is completely melted, add shredded parmesan cheese. stir briefly until melted.
  -Add basil to sauce and reduce to lowest heat until ready to use.
  -When pasta is slightly under cooked, drain thoroughly and add to sauce.
  -Finish pasta over medium heat until tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  -Serve immediately with [[baked or grilled brined chicken thigh or breast]].
