PASTA WITH HERBED TOMATO BUTTER AND PARMESAN CHEESE
Pantry pasta dinner has never been easier with help from tomato powder, our new favorite seasoning. Made from dehydrated tomatoes, the super-concentrated flavors come alive when you stir in a little Italian seasoning and plenty of Parmesan cheese and butter. Voila! A no-cook sauce that will make you think pizza pasta in all the right ways.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the pasta water, then drain.
- Combine the tomato powder, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup of the pasta water in a large bowl and stir until smooth. Add the hot pasta to the bowl and toss twice to coat. Add the Parmesan and butter and continue to toss, adding up to 1 cup more of the pasta water to loosen the sauce. Top with more Parmesan and some parsley and crushed red pepper, if using.
FRESH HERB AND CHEESE SAUCE
The recipe calls for Chervil, a herb similar to parsley. I didn't have either, so actually used some fresh sage, which was lovely! I prepared this sauce to accompany Recipe#328329, by chef#925731. This sauce recipe comes from the "Pasta Cookbook", published by Merehurst Press, original title, "Nudeln". From Zaars Kitchen Dictionary: CHERVIL: The leaves and root of this parsley family herb are edible and have a mild anise flavor. The leaves are a curly and dark green. Chervil is one of the main ingredients in Fines Herbes. Ingredient Season: available year-round How to store: Chervil does not dry well, so it is best when used fresh. How to prepare: Use like parsley, though most flavor is lost when boiled. Matches well with: asparagus, carrots, cheese, chicken, eggs, fish, peas, potatoes, salads, sauces, soups, spinach, tomatoes, veal, venison Substitutions: parsley or tarragon

Steps:
- If you plan to serve this with pasta, put your pasta on to cook now. This sauce would also complement certain meats, chicken, for instance.
- Peel and finely chop onion.
- Melt the butter, fry the onion, stir in the flour and fry until golden.
- Gradually add the stock, and bring the sauce to the boil, stirring constantly.
- Add the wine and sour cream and allow to simmer on low heat.
- Season the sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Add the Mozzarella cheese cubes to the sauce and allow to melt over low heat.
- Stir the chopped chervil (or herb of choice) into the sauce.
- Beat the egg yolk with 2 tblsps of sauce, then blend into the rest of the sauce.
- Add cooked pasta of choice (recipe suggestion, tortellini, although I used the homemade gnocchi mentioned above).

PASTA WITH CREAMY HERB SAUCE
This cozy pasta is the perfect place to use up any hard-stem herbs like sage, thyme or rosemary that are languishing in your fridge. Add the herbs and a cinnamon stick to a pot of heavy cream. As they bubble together, the cream takes on a surprising but subtle herbaceousness. Use it to sauce pasta noodles and winter greens. If you don't have the herbs listed, leave them out or swap in marjoram or bay leaves, or even dried chile, lemon peel, garlic, shallot or leeks. The method of infusing cream with flavorings, then using it to sauce pasta, is open to adaptation. To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter .

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sage, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium and cook until the cream has thickened slightly and is reduced to about 1 cup, 12 to 15 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat until the pasta's ready.
- When the cream is at the halfway point, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until a minute or 2 shy of al dente. About 3 minutes before draining the pasta, add the greens to the water. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and greens with a colander and return to the pot.
- Place the just-used colander over the pot of pasta, then strain the infused cream through the colander into the noodles. (Discard or compost the herbs and cinnamon stick.) Add the 1/2 cup pasta water to the pasta, set over medium-high heat, and cook, tossing, until the sauce glosses the noodles, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
PASTA WITH MEATBALLS AND HERB SAUCE
Before you use herbs as a main ingredient - it helps to know which ones work on a grand scale. Parsley, obviously, works in abundance: it's clean-tasting, pleasantly grassy and almost never overwhelming. You can add literally a bunch (bunches!) of it to salad, soup, eggs, pasta, grains or beans. The same is largely true of basil, and you can use other mild herbs - chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, shiso - by at least the handful. (Mint is also useful but will easily take over a dish if you add too much of it. But all of these are great for making herb pastes, or pestos, alone or in combination. Use the same technique you use for basil pesto.)

Steps:
- Mix together the basil, parsley and chives. Soak the bread in the milk for 5 minutes, then gently squeeze any excess milk from the bread; discard the milk. Combine the bread with the meat, 1 cup of the herbs and some salt and pepper; shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cook the pasta in the boiling water until tender but not mushy. While the pasta is cooking, purée 11/2 cups of the herbs with 4 tablespoons oil, the garlic and some salt and pepper in a mini food processor or blender; leave the sauce rough or add a little water if you want it smoother. Drain the pasta, reserving about a cup of its cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the herb sauce and most of the remaining herbs, adding the reserved liquid if the mixture seems dry. Top with the meatballs, garnish with Parmesan and the last of the herbs and serve.
