Linguine with Garlic, Herbs and Lemon image

A simple pasta dish made with fresh ingredients. Herbs that work well with this dish are basil, tarragon, marjoram, oregano, parsley, dill, thyme, chives, cilantro, chervil and mint. I like to go heavy on the basil(about a cup) and then combine one or two other herbs.

I made this recipe with gluten-free pasta and it was still really good. It's a great way to enjoy a delicious pasta dish without the gluten.
