Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese or 1 1/2 cups domestic asiago cheese
  • 1/2 cup tightly packed fresh basil leaf
  • 1/4 cup tightly packed fresh italian parsley
  • 1/2 cup tightly packed fresh marjoram
  • 4 -5 large garlic cloves
  • 1/2 medium red onion

Directions:

  1. Set a 6-quart pot of water (fill 3/4 full, adding 1 tablespoon salt) to boil, covered.
  2. Add pasta. Cook according to pkg. directions(usually about 10 mins.).
  3. Put all the herbs, zest,garlic and onion together on a cutting board.
  4. Chop all together until garlic is about 1/4 inch. Heat 2 tbls. extra-virgin olive oil in 12-inch skillet over medium high heat. Add herb/garlic/onion mixture to pan, lower heat to medium, and sauté with salt and freshly ground black pepper, taking care not to burn garlic-it should go about 5 minutes and be light blonde.
  5. Set sauce aside while cooking pasta. Just before draining, stir 2/3 cup pasta water into pan. Drain pasta, bring herb sauce to boil, and then add pasta to pan. Toss over medium low heat about 2 minutes. Season to taste and then toss with cheese. Turn into a bowl and serve. Enjoy!
