Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet or frypan over medium heat, then add garlic and fry for 30 seconds, and then switch off.
Once pasta is cooked, scoop out about a cupful of pasta water and then drain off the remaining water.
Immediately add pasta to the pan with the butter and garlic, tossing to coat.

Divide pasta between serving bowls, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
