Over warm pasta with herbs and cheese Recipe

Italian · Main course · 20 min total

A simple, comforting dish where tender pasta is tossed with a medley of fresh herbs and melted cheese, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 12 oz (340g) dried pasta (e.g., penne or fusilli)
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
2. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Remove skillet from heat. Add the hot drained pasta, parsley, basil, oregano, Parmesan, and Pecorino. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the cheese melts and coats the pasta (you may not need all the water).
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream along with the cheese.
• Substitute herbs based on availability; a mix of mint and chives also works well.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of water or milk.
