Fresh Herb Pasta Salad Fresh Herb Pasta Salad is a great way to use those fresh herbs from your summer
herb garden.
Ingredients: Cook pasta in a large pasta pot until al dente. While pasta is cooking, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat in a skillet and add the minced garlic. Saute until lightly golden brown to mellow the flavor but be very careful not to overcook the garlic or it will become bitter – remove from heat to cool. Chop the tomatoes and fresh herbs, then combine in a bowl. Add the remaining olive oil and sautéed garlic. When pasta is finished, drain while reserving ½ cup of the pasta water. In a large serving bowl, toss the drained pasta with the tomato/herb mixture and add pasta water as needed. Drizzle in the remaining olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Can be kept chilled in your refrigerator but this salad taste best warm or at room temperature.
