In cooking pasta, you can never go wrong with cherry tomatoes and olive oil! They're simply the best duo. You have to try them!
Cooking pasta with basil and dill is an extension of the cherry tomato-olive oil tandem. In fact, you can play with different herbs and spices; vegetables and proteins with cherry tomatoes and olive oil base. They work wonders for a pasta recipe.
More so, olive oil is a healthy oil, with lots of omega-3 fatty acids. It's good for your cardio-vascular health. And like many of my recipes, we won't be using much of artificial flavors or MSG here so cooking pasta with basil and dill will be a very healthy meal for your family.
Let's begin!
