Instructions

  1. Bring a full pot of water to a boil and salt the water with a teaspoon of salt. Add the gemelli pasta and cook according to the instructions on the bag. Usually nine minutes.
  2. When the pasta is done, drain it in a colander and put it back in the pot.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan on medium heat. When it’s hot (but not smoking) add the garlic and herbs and stir for thirty seconds. They will sizzle, remove from the heat if the oil begins to smoke. Pour the oil and herbs on the pasta and stir to coat. Salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Recipe Notes
  • NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
  • Salt the water before boiling the pasta for better flavor. 
  • Don't overcook the pasta or it will become mushy.
  • You can use dried herbs if you don't have fresh. A ½ teaspoon of each should work well. 
  • Grate vegan parmesan on top for added flavor.
