Standing in the kitchen, looking somewhat lost, Joshua approached me and asked if I wanted dinner ideas…
Me: Yes please!!
JRoc: How about some spaghetti? With butter and garlic sauce?
Me: Of course… anything else?
JRoc: Hey, mommy, we have almonds! Do you think it would taste good with almonds?
We wouldn’t be *us* if we didn’t give it a try now, would we? 
Ingredients:
- 2 oz thick spaghetti, cooked as directed on package
- 4 tbsps unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp slivered almonds
- 1 semi-soft cheese (those little, red Baby Bel cheese)
- salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
- Heat a large, nons-stick pan over medium-low heat and add butter and garlic.
- Cook until butter is melted… careful not to let it burn!
- Add almonds and continue cooking for about a minute, stirring frequently
- When pasta is finished cooking, crumble cheese on top of hot pasta, then pour the butter, garlic, and almond sauce
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
A simple dish, with a big, bold, and buttery flavor! Success
*** Mmmmm… Delizioso! *** 
Buon Appetito!
