How are your herbs growing? I hope better than mine – I never have enough basil (I am a basil killer) but do have an abundance of thyme in the garden. Time to kill two birds with one stone by using up the excess herbs to throw together an easy summer meal. Chop your herbs into a bowl of al dente pasta, then add a healthy glug of olive oil or a knob of butter. It looks beautiful, it smells even better and you can gloat over your home-grown meal while sipping a chilled glass of wine.
