Number Of Ingredients 8

3 shallots, minced (about 1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for pasta water and seasoning
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups packed mixed fresh herbs, such as mint, flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, and basil, finely chopped
1/4 cup snipped fresh fennel fronds, finely chopped
Freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound spaghetti or other pasta
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water; bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt and pasta. Cook until the pasta is al dente according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, place shallots on a cutting board, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Using the side of a chef's knife, crush into a paste. Transfer to a medium bowl, and add oil and lemon juice. Whisk to combine. Add herbs and fennel fronds to shallot paste, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
