Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.
- Add salt and spaghetti.
- Cook for 12-14 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the sauce: First, remove any thick or woody stems from the herbs and discard.
- Chop herbs finely- you should end up with about 3/4 cup of chopped herbs (a little more or less won't matter).
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook until just beginning to colour.
- Remove saucepan from heat immediately.
- With the saucepan off the heat, add cream, butter, lemon rind and juice, herbs, salt and pepper and stir to mix well.
- When the spaghetti is cooked to your liking, drain it well then add the drained spaghetti to the saucepan (the one with the sauce in it).
- Return this saucepan to a low-medium heat and toss with two forks to combine the spaghetti with the sauce.
- Cook gently for a minute or two until the sauce begins to thicken and most, but not all, of it has been taken up by the spaghetti.
- Serve in bowls, drizzling over any remaining sauce.
- Top with parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately.
- Serve as is or with a crisp green salad and a nice cold glass of dry white wine!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Drop in the tomatoes, cook for 15 seconds, and then transfer them to a large bowl of cool water. Slip off the skins and cut them in half through the middle. Poke out the seeds with your finger, and roughly dice the flesh. Warm a large ceramic or glass mixing bowl by rinsing it with hot water. Toss the tomatoes in the bowl with the olive oil, mixed herbs, parsley, and ricotta cheese.
- Bring the large pot of water back to a rolling boil, add the spaghetti, and cook until tender but still firm. Drain and add it immediately to the tomato mixture in the bowl. Sprinkle with the Parmigiano. Toss with tongs or two wooden spoons until the pasta is evenly coated. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Pass extra Parmigiano cheese at the table.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE
This recipe came to The Times in 2003 from the chef Scott Conant, who was then cooking at his restaurant L'Impero in Manhattan. It is simple, classic Italian fare that makes the most of summer's tomatoes, but you can also make it with hothouse offerings and it will be delicious.

Steps:
- Blanch the tomatoes and remove the skins. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the tomatoes crosswise. Set aside in a bowl.
- Heat 3 ounces olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes slightly. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Since the tomatoes will reduce and the salt will be concentrated, it is better to season initially with a lighter hand.
- Chop the tomatoes with a potato masher until they are in fine chunks and all their liquid is released. Be sure they are chopped and crushed fine, for a semichunky sauce. Simmer for 25 minutes over medium heat.
- While the sauce simmers, heat the water for the pasta. Cook the spaghetti in salted water about half of the way cooked. Drain, reserving some of the water.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente. If the sauce is over-reduced, use the pasta cooking liquid to adjust it.
- At the last moment, remove the pan from the heat; add the extra-virgin olive oil, butter, basil and cheese. Mix thoroughly until the pasta is an orangy color. Taste again and adjust the salt if necessary. Remove to a platter. Serve.

Steps:
- Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water until it's al dente. Reserve 1 cup (235 ml) of the pasta water before draining.
- While the spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan (it should be large enough to toss the pasta in). Add garlic and tomatoes, and stir until well-incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook tomatoes down for 5 minutes until they soften and release some of their juices.
- Then add the wine and allow that to reduce for 5-10 minutes until you're left with a syrupy sauce.
- Add the pasta to your sauce, along with a splash of pasta water and toss to coat it for about 1-2 minutes so the pasta finishes cooking and absorbs the flavor of the sauce.
- Add the parmesan and basil. Add another small splash of pasta water, if needed. Toss until the cheese is melted down and you're left with a smooth sauce.
- Gradually add small amounts of pasta water, as needed, until the sauce reaches your desired smoothness.
- Top off with extra parmesan and basil and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

PASTA WITH FRESH HERBS, FETA AND TOMATOES

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to pkg directions while preparing 'sauce'.
- Chop tomatoes coarsely, removing seeds as they make sauce too runny.
- Roughly chop approximately 1/4-1/2c basil leaves and set aside.
- Chop 1/2c parsley and set aside.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil to a non-stick pan(I actually use a large non-stick wok!) Cook tomatoes, garlic and chillis until tendercrisp over medium-high heat. DO NOT overcook tomatoes, the last thing you want is a soggy mess. You should be able to easily identify the tomato chunks in the pasta! This is NOT a traditional soupy sauce! It's a fresh, light tasting summery dish not meant to be 'drowned' in excess sauce.
- Toss in the HOT drained fusilli and stir through crumbled feta and basil over low heat until feta begins to melt. The feta shouldn't be melted all the way, just warmed through and softened! It will continue to melt on the plate, you should be able to see lots of chunky bits of cheese poking through.
- Stir through the chopped parsley and approximately 1/2c olives.
- Top with fresh grated parmesan.
- Enjoy with a chilled glass of chardonnay!

PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO-HERB SAUCE
Steps:
- Combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Immediately add freshly cooked pasta. Toss well. Season generously with pepper and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and free of blemishes.
- If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
- If you like a little heat in your pasta, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil to the sauce.
- If you're short on time, you can use canned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
- Serve spaghetti with fresh tomato and herb sauce with a side of grated Parmesan cheese and a glass of your favorite red wine.

Spaghetti with fresh tomato and herb sauce is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients, this pasta dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
