Summer Herb Spagetti


Genius!   A dinner that is simple, fast, healthy and delicious!
I grabbed some of the fresh herbs from my patio garden.   Basil, Oregano, Parsley.   And mixed them with some buttered spaghetti.   Topped it with a little shaved pecorino romano for that bit of cheese and salt to counter the butter and the clean taste of the herbs....   and I got something fabulous.

I know it is a bit lazy to just put herbs and cheese on top of pasta, but the simple recipe allows the fresh and great quality ingredients to shine.     Now if I could just find some of those "natural" wines I keep reading about to go with this meal....

This may be my go-to summer meal for lunch and dinner.   I do this all the time where I keep craving the same homemade items over and over again.  One season it was Caesar salad and grilled cheese for lunch.  Another was a salad of greens with chickpeas, articoke hearts, parmesean and sunflower seeds.  When it gets hot outside, I crave fruit and simple fresh comfort foods.  

Next post may be an ode to the wonders of fruit.   This year it is going to be raspberry heavy; possibly some pineapple too.
