Pasta with herbs and garlic

4 servings

30 minutes

Pasta with herbs and garlic is a fragrant and refreshing dish of Italian cuisine filled with the natural flavors of Mediterranean herbs. Light yet rich, it is perfect for warm summer days. A rich mix of fresh greens – cilantro, dill, basil, parsley, and mint – gives the pasta a fresh herbal aroma complemented by the spicy sharpness of garlic. Lemon juice and balsamic sauce add a light tanginess while olive oil makes the texture soft and silky. This dish pairs excellently with roasted vegetables or parmesan and can serve as both a main course or a light side dish. It is served hot to highlight the depth of flavor but retains its unique freshness even when chilled.
