Almost As Simple Pasta With Parmesan, Herbs, and Fresh Garlic image

Another family favorite that lends itself to easy variations -- tweak the taste to complement the day's main dish by your choice of herbs. You probably have all these ingredients handy in your pantry and refrigerator. I swear the kids would eat this every day if I'd make it that often. I can't personally vouch for freezing it, but I know that it reheats well in the microwave after being refrigerated. Cooking time is mainly cooking the pasta.

I'm not a big fan of garlic, but this pasta dish was surprisingly good. The garlic flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.

This dish didn't work so well for me. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was too oily.
