For like 1/2 lb of pasta (half of one of those $1 boxes) it's only like 1-2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of Parmesan (we buy the 10 lb bag from Costco and keep it in the freezer...it lasts us a LONG time even though we use it a lot), and 1 chicken breast cooked with olive oil and garlic. It's so simple and we love it. I always guess on the proportions, so don't quote me on them. Too much butter makes it too greasy though.
You can use olive oil in place of the butter and use less and it's way yummy Or do half and half.
