3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper

Cook linguine according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in another pan, combine butter, lemon juice, basil, garlic powder and lemon pepper; cook and stir until butter is melted. Drain linguine and add to butter mixture. Toss to coat noodles. Add parmesan and toss.
