PASTA WITH FRESH HERBS, LEMON AND PEAS



Pasta With Fresh Herbs, Lemon and Peas image

Buy a bunch of parsley along with basil or chives to keep on hand in your refrigerator. The herbs will keep for a week if properly stored. Produce departments often use misters, but greens don't keep well once wet. When you get home, spin the herbs in salad spinner if they're wet, wrap them in a paper towel and then bag them.
