A while back on the WhoCares blog, I remember a discussion about trying to simplify meals. Well, we've really been trying to do that at our house as an effort to make meal times less stressful. We had this for dinner last night-- it was SO delicious and most of it was from our back yard.
Pasta w/ Fresh Herbs
1/2 lb. whole-wheat fettuccine
1/8 c. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c. minced fresh parsley
1/4 c. minced fresh basil
1/4 c. minced chives
(also can use others-- I added a bit of dill)
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
grated Parmesan
Cook pasta. While pasta cooks, warm oil over low heat. Add garlic and cook for about a minute. Add herbs and cook 30 more seconds. Add 1/4 cup pasta water and set aside. After pasta is done, drain and put in large bowl. Toss with herb mixture and grate cheese on top.
