Herbed Fregola Sarda Pasta Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the fregola sarda pasta (or your substitute pasta) and cook following the package directions — and your tastebuds — until al dente. Most brands cook in about 10 minutes.

Step 2: When cooked, drain in colander, then add to a large bowl and toss with lemon zest and juice, olive oil, chopped herbs and salt and pepper to taste. This dish is great served warm or cold.
