PASTA WITH CREAMY HERB SAUCE
This cozy pasta is the perfect place to use up any hard-stem herbs like sage, thyme or rosemary that are languishing in your fridge. Add the herbs and a cinnamon stick to a pot of heavy cream. As they bubble together, the cream takes on a surprising but subtle herbaceousness. Use it to sauce pasta noodles and winter greens. If you don't have the herbs listed, leave them out or swap in marjoram or bay leaves, or even dried chile, lemon peel, garlic, shallot or leeks. The method of infusing cream with flavorings, then using it to sauce pasta, is open to adaptation. To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter .

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sage, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium and cook until the cream has thickened slightly and is reduced to about 1 cup, 12 to 15 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat until the pasta's ready.
- When the cream is at the halfway point, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until a minute or 2 shy of al dente. About 3 minutes before draining the pasta, add the greens to the water. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and greens with a colander and return to the pot.
- Place the just-used colander over the pot of pasta, then strain the infused cream through the colander into the noodles. (Discard or compost the herbs and cinnamon stick.) Add the 1/2 cup pasta water to the pasta, set over medium-high heat, and cook, tossing, until the sauce glosses the noodles, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Soak the penne pasta in plenty of water in a large and flat bottomed dish.
- In the meantime, prepare the masala mixture for the pasta.
- To do so, take a wide bottom pan or skillet.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in it.
- Once the oil is hot, add the garlic cloves (finely chopped) and the sliced onions.
- Mix well and cook on low-medium heat for 7-10 minutes or until the onions turn translucent.
- In the meantime once the pasta has been soaked for around 10-15 minutes, drain out all the water and replenish with about 10 cups of fresh water. All the pasta should be soaked in the water, so if you put more water then that is fine.
- Add 2 tbsps of oil and 3 dashes of salt to the pasta.
- Now, to the masala mixture, please add the herbs, that is, the oregano, rosemary, fresh basil leaves and the pizza seasoning.alongwith salt to taste. Mix well.
- Allow the pasta to cook on medium flame for about 10 minutes, stirring about every 5 minutes, till the pasta is cooked completely (It should be soft in the middle and this is called al dente). Drain out the water completely. Rinse the cooked pasta under running tap water (preferably cold temperature).
- Fold in the tomatoes(finely chopped) and mix thoroughly.
- Stir in about 1 cup of water. Allow to cook on low flame until all of the mixture becomes like one combined well cooked mixture in appearance.
- Add the drained pasta to the masala mixture and mix thoroughly from bottom to top, ensuring that all the pasta is well coated with the masala mixture.
- Serve hot and relish it to the last bite!
