A Bite of Spring

Fresh Herbed Pasta

{Inspired by Martha Stewart March 2009 "Living"}

1-2 cups of whatever pasta you like-- I love using whole wheat Chiocciole or Casarecce

1/2-3/4 cup freshly chopped basil

1/2-3/4 cup freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 garlic cloves, minced

Juice of 1 lemon, and about 1/4 tsp of lemon zest

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt and pepper

Parm. cheese or Pecorino cheese (sheep's cheese-- strong and stinky)

Cook your pasta al dente, drain. In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients to taste. Enjoy while warm.
