This is one comforting, filling meal. if i don't watch myself, i could easily finish 2 big servings of this dish. I discovered this in Loppiano [Florence, Italy], when one night i couldn't eat what was prepared by one of my czech housemates. I can not eat sweet, cinammon flavored rice [their version of our biko] for dinner.
Because it was Italy, we always had leftover pasta in the ref. so we made this dish out of what was inside our ref at that time: the pasta, a lemon and some mozarella.
it's so simple to make: melt butter in a pan, pour in left over pasta, turn off flame, squeeze lemon over it [careful not to let the seeds drop into it], add as much salt and as much mozarella cheese as you want. mix well.
Back here in the Philippines i even substitute the lemon with calamansi and the mozarella with whatever cheese i have in the ref. If i don't have cheese, the salt alone will do nicely. But tonight, i have freshly grated parmesan.
i know it's not much to look at. but if you try it, you will believe me.
