The herbs in this sauce really shine through. I used fresh rosemary, thyme, and oregano, and they all came together beautifully.

I love how easy this sauce is to make. I just roasted some garlic and herbs in olive oil, then blended it with some Parmesan cheese. It took less than 30 minutes, and it tasted like it came from a fancy restaurant.
