A simple pasta dish made with fresh ingredients. Herbs that work well with this dish are basil, tarragon, marjoram, oregano, parsley, dill, thyme, chives, cilantro, chervil and mint. I like to go heavy on the basil(about a cup) and then combine one or two other herbs.

Light, delicious and easy. I used a combination of basil, cilantro and a tiny bit of mint. I cut down the oil to just a teaspoon, as we are watching our fat intake.5Reply

We had this last night for dinner. (I used basil alone since that was all that I had in the house) It was extremely easy to make. It was also very refreshing and not at all heavy. I ate 2 servings! With a salad and garlic bread, this makes a quick, summery meal. Thanks for the recipe.5Reply
