That sounds very much like ‘Spaghetti Aglio e Olio’; and as Miss Marmelstein has told us, she’s been served it late at night in Italy.

Yep, similar, I just use mine for all the leftover cooked pasta I convince the wife not to throw out.
I’m a “farm” girl from rural Iowa and of German ancestry. When I was in college & had no money, I often ate spaghetti with butter, garlic powder & parmesan cheese.
I didn’t figure out until years later that my money-saving “concoction” was a (bad) version of a real Italian dish...lol.
