Creamy Herb Pasta

Someone told me about this recipe during a cooking class. It’s stuck with me, definitely qualifies as another Trader Joe’s hack. It’s summery, light with a bit of richness and would pair well with grilled salmon.

A mix of herbs from Trader Joe’s such as parsley, sage, chives, mint and thyme – or herbs from the Farmer’s Market, minced or food chopped. Three-fourths of a cup.

For The Cream – Real Cream, or Organic Half and Half, or Vegan Cream consisting of Coconut Milk blended with mustard (1 can of full fat Coconut milk blended with a tablespoon of mustard) – 1 Cup

Pasta – A Fettucine noodle would be great. Fusilli pictured here. 2 Cups

Salt & Pepper

Mince herbs or food chop them in a blender and add cream on pasta for a dinner main or a side. Herbs from, where else, Trader Joe’s, here. A mix of Farmer’s Market herbs even better. Three fourths of a cup of minced herbs for two cups of pasta.

Some adds for more flavor:  don’t forget the salt and pepper, garlic powder, mustard powder - and a little goat cheese or Pecorino Romano for more heft.

Use the leftover parsley, sage, chives, mint and thyme for broiled and grilled meats and drinks.

I was already familiar with the new identity actor Andrew McCarthy, of Brat Pack fame, had forged as a travel writer, having read a little of his work.   This book is a chronicle of McCarthy’s second Camino de Santiago journey, this time with his late-adolescent son, Sam. There are strengths and weaknesses to this book. It takes one to know one, but McCarthy comes across as a real navel gazer. What’s more, his son comes across as at times monosyllabic, somewhat childish and Tik Tok addled – but that seems real.   They did not eat well…and this is Spain. That’s the bad. What’s good is that McCarthy’s passion for travel shines through. His interest in the storied history of the location is genuine. He’s good at describing it. He’s good at ...
