In a small mixing bowl beat 1/2 cup soft butter or margarine and cream
cheese together until well blended. Stir in parsley, basil, salt and
pepper. Set aside.
Cook pasta in plenty of boiling water until al dente. Drain and return to
cooking pot. Cook garlic slowly in the second 1/2 cup butter or margarine
for about 2-minutes, while the pasta is cooking. Add to the cooked pasta
and toss together with 2 forks over low heat until very hot. Remove from
heat and add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, then toss again. Turn mixture out
onto a serving plate and keep hot.
Add boiling water to cream cheese mixture and blend well. Pour over pasta
and sprinkle with the additional 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. Serve
immediately.
