Safe Buttered Noodles

Also known as rice fusilli with olive oil and a frozen basil cube (thanks, Trader Joe's), salt & pepper.

I'm feeling super sick today, perhaps because of too few calories and too much activity yesterday (hiked to Scenic Hot Springs on nothing but the morning's pancakes), or perhaps it's the diet fade-in, or the period fade-in. Poor body, that's plenty to deal with.

So I needed some simple comfort food. Easy to make, easy to digest. And the result? Nearly as delicious as semolina fusilli with rich fresh butter and garlic.

Hint for life: salt and pepper and olive oil. They make dinner.
