Step 1
Bring about 3 quarts water to a boil and add linguine, stirring down so the pasta is completely immersed in the water. Add salt and cook until tender, stirring strands often, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Return pasta to the kettle it was cooked in, and add butter, olive oil, basil, pepper and ½ cup cheese, and toss to blend. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese on the side.
