A good Pasta with fresh herbs, I love to go out to my herb garden and snip off fresh herbs for this recipe, and the Parmesan cheese and garlic make this a great Italian side dish. For me this is a comfort food, because I remember eating this growing up during some of the best family dinners.

    Grated Parmesan freezes well. I buy 5 ounce containers when they are on sale and keep the extra’s in the freezer for up to 4 months. Throw leftover hot dog and hamburger buns in the freezer and pull them out to make quick garlic or cheese toast.
