Ingredients
3cupsdry rotini pasta
1teaspoonof salt
2Herb-Bombs(or minced fresh herbs & olive oil)
Enough broth or water to cover pasta
Instructions
Bring salted water to a boil. Add dry pasta and stir thoroughly. When water returns to a boil, continue boiling pasta uncovered for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Strain cooked pasta in a mesh colander and place hot pasta in a bowl.
Add about 1 Herb-Bomb per about 1.5 cups dry pasta, or to your taste. (I used two Herb-Bombs for three cups of dry rotini pasta) If desired you can substitute herb bombs with minced fresh herbs such as basil, rosemary & oregano and a splash of olive oil.
Stir to thoroughly coat pasta - may add a few drops of lemon juice to add a little acidity. Chopped tomatoes are a nice stir-in, and chopped cucumbers go well too.
