PASTA WITH CITRUS-HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large frying over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add onion, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in half of herbs, and set aside.
• Cook pasta according to the package directions. When pasta is cooked, reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water, and drain pasta.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.
• Add salt and spaghetti.
• Cook for 12-14 minutes.
• In the meantime, prepare the sauce: First, remove any thick or woody stems from the herbs and discard.
• Chop herbs finely- you should end up with about 3/4 cup of chopped herbs (a little more or less won't matter).
• Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat.
• Add garlic and cook until just beginning to colour.
• Remove saucepan from heat immediately.
• With the saucepan off the heat, add cream, butter, lemon rind and juice, herbs, salt and pepper and stir to mix well.
• When the spaghetti is cooked to your liking, drain it well then add the drained spaghetti to the saucepan (the one with the sauce in it).
• Return this saucepan to a low-medium heat and toss with two forks to combine the spaghetti with the sauce.
• Cook gently for a minute or two until the sauce begins to thicken and most, but not all, of it has been taken up by the spaghetti.
• Serve in bowls, drizzling over any remaining sauce.
• Top with parmesan cheese.
• Serve immediately.
• Serve as is or with a crisp green salad and a nice cold glass of dry white wine!

PASTA WITH CREAMY HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sage, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium and cook until the cream has thickened slightly and is reduced to about 1 cup, 12 to 15 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat until the pasta's ready.
• When the cream is at the halfway point, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until a minute or 2 shy of al dente. About 3 minutes before draining the pasta, add the greens to the water. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and greens with a colander and return to the pot.
• Place the just-used colander over the pot of pasta, then strain the infused cream through the colander into the noodles. (Discard or compost the herbs and cinnamon stick.) Add the 1/2 cup pasta water to the pasta, set over medium-high heat, and cook, tossing, until the sauce glosses the noodles, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
