"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Directions:
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a straight sided large skillet or saucepan. Bring to a hard boil and then reduce heat just enough to keep it boillng without splattering as you stir and toss it constantly with tongs for about 8 - 10 minutes. The water will reduce down and the pasta will release starches that thicken it and make it creamy.

Do not wait for all the liquid to evaporate. Toss the pasta as it finishes cooking. When it has softened to your liking, remove from the heat. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Scoop into serving bowls and top with fresh cheese and additional basil.
