This pasta dish is based on a traditional recipe enjoyed in Liguria, Italy. I got this from Vegetarian Times, and changed it a bit.

10 fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 cup white wine

I'm not usually a fan of raisins in savory dishes, but this recipe changed my mind. The raisins add a nice sweetness that balances out the salty Parmesan cheese.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices, such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning.

I found that this recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less Parmesan cheese, or omitting it altogether.
