Pasta with fresh herbs and garlic

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

Now that it is summer, I find myself craving light meals that don’t intensify the heat of the day. I was thinking today about a book I read a long time ago called Under the Tuscan Sun. In the book, the author talks about a simple meal, found in the Italian countryside, that consisted of pasta, butter, and herbs. Simple. Tasty. Perfect for summer.
