Fussili (Jerry) and Basil

If anyone is a Seinfeld fan, you will get the name of this recipe.

This is a recipe that was either my Grandmother's or my Aunt's on my Dad's side. Simple and delicious.

1lb of Fussili (you can use any kind of pasta) but then the joke....

1/2 cup fresh basil sliced (roll leaves in a cigar shape then slice thinly across cigar)

1/2 cup chopped pimento's

1/2 sliced black olives

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

2-3 cloves of garlic chopped finely

Salt and pepper-make sure it is well seasoned

3/4 cup of olive oil (you could use a little less and add some pasta water if you are watching your figure ;)

Cook the pasta as directed.

Just before the pasta is done heat the olive oil in a big saute' pan over med heat. Add the garlic and saute until lightly brown. Add the rest of the ingredients heat til warm. Drain pasta and toss all the ingredients together. Grate some cheese over it...
