Description
Toss this utterly simple pasta sauce with your favorite bite-size pasta. Make sure your pasta water is well-salted, about 1 tablespoon regular salt per generous 2 quarts of water. Save some of the pasta cooking liquid in case you need to thin the sauce when tossing it with the pasta.To add substance and interest, add 8 ounces (about 2 cups) of frozen peas or a 16-ounce package of frozen spinach to pasta the last few minutes of cooking.*A mix of herbs is great. No need to measure, just toss in a handful. One of our favorites combos is basil and oregano. Lead with basil and use a little of the stronger oregano as an accent.
