Tips & Tricks Olive Oil and Herb Spaghetti Recipe
• I just can’t get enough of my fresh herbs right now and wanted to share the easiest and tastiest spaghetti with you all.
• I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles, but really any thin pasta will do.
• Simply boil your noodles (I always use chicken broth instead of water for a little added flavor), strain and rinse, and then toss with olive oil, chopped fresh herbs, salt and pepper and toss with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
• It is so easy and besides the small investment in chicken broth, it is pretty inexpensive if you already have the fresh herbs on hand.
Think you can’t enjoy your fresh herbs year-round? Well, think again!
• Preserving your herbs for year-round use is so easy and only involves an ice cube tray and some olive oil.
• Just add fresh chopped herbs to each compartment and fill with olive oil and freeze.
• Just like that! So easy!
• After they are frozen, pop them out and store them in a plastic freezer bag and use them as pan starters
• Or for this dish, just cook your noodles and while hot drop one or two cubes onto the pasta and let melt and then stir to combine and season.
• I mean, seriously! This is a no-brainer!
