FIRE AND ICE PASTA
I apparently copied the original recipe down wrong (2 cups of olive oil?? That can't be right!) so I took extreme liberties with it when I made this. I added black olives and used white onions instead of the chives. This would be better with fresh herbs. It's spicy, so serve it with some chewy bread and a mixed green salad.

PASTA WITH FRESH HERBS, LEMON AND PEAS
Buy a bunch of parsley along with basil or chives to keep on hand in your refrigerator. The herbs will keep for a week if properly stored. Produce departments often use misters, but greens don't keep well once wet. When you get home, spin the herbs in salad spinner if they're wet, wrap them in a paper towel and then bag them.
