DRIED HERB PASTA
Dried herbs have more potency than fresh, so a small amount goes a long way in pasta
dough. For best flavor, start with a newly opened jar or one that you have had on the
shelf no longer than a month. Nearly any herb will do. Tarragon, marjoram, oregano
thyme, dill and sage are good herbs to start with.
