1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. basil
1 TBSP chopped garlic

1/2 C. green onions, chopped
3 C. chicken or shrimp stock

Saute the onion in the olive oil for approximately four minutes.
Add the garlic and stir. Add thyme, cayenne and black peppers, and
basil and cook at low heat for five more minutes. Add everything
else except for the pasta, shrimp, and cheese, and cook over lowish
heat for an hour.

Saute the shrimp in some butter and garlic until three-quarters

an additional two minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss well with
the grated cheese. Serve hot.
