Linguine Con Scampi $6.62

Here's a standby in our home, that is a favorite of ALL the children. My son Michael loves shrimp as do my 4 nieces and 1 nephew. If you were wondering what scampi means, you may have figured out it means shrimp. "Pasta" doesn't have to be linguine, it can be spaghetti, angel hair, rigatoni w/e.
The "sauce" tonight is agiio olio,(garlic olive oil).. It could also be a marinara sauce, arrabbiata sauce (spicy) fresh tomato and basil etc....
I am in the mood for light and flavorful, but I have to say a spicy tomato sauce sometimes hits the spot with shrimp.
Here's how it goes tonight (watch out, this is fast!)

1 lb pasta .99
3 garlic cloves minced .20
1/2 cup olive oil .25
