We really did enjoy this pasta. Except for using fettuccine, everything was as per the recipe. Such a simple yet flavorful dish, which I enjoyed on its own, and DH with sausages. This was a quick & easy pasta to make, and the bonus was it used ingredients that I already had on hand and required only a short cooking time, which was perfect to make after a day of work! I even enjoyed the leftover's again the next day, using the left over garlic diced up and a few extra of the fresh herbs stirred through, it was amazing!

What a great, simple, side dish. I loved all of the fresh herbs..........but I did have to use dried oregano. Thanks for sharing a nice keeper, Teresa.
