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 huge fan of garlic, so I used less than the recipe called for. It was still very good.

This was a good recipe, but I found it to be a little bland. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes and it was much better.
