Spaghetti with Seafood in Tomato and Herb sauce by John SpottiswoodA colleague of mine brought in some fresh oregano, marjoram, and Italian parsley from his garden, so I looked for a fresh herb pasta recipe.

Pasta with Grape or Cherry Tomatoes by Nancy MiyasakiThis is a great pasta from an island off the coast of Italy that I adapted from Giada de Laurentiis.

I've served this with and without basil, and prefer it with basil though it is delicious either way. |
