LINGUINE WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Combine olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan, and turn the heat to medium-low. Cook gently, just until the garlic begins to color, then remove from the heat. Meanwhile, wash and mince the herbs. Place them in a bowl large enough to hold the pasta. Cut the butter into bits, if you're using it, and add it to the bowl.
• Salt water, and cook pasta until tender but not mushy. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta and toss with herbs and reserved olive oil-garlic mixture. Add a little more olive oil or some of the pasta water if the mixture seems dry. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

• When the water is boiling, stir in the linguine and cook for two to three minutes. Drain thoroughly.
• Then put the linguine in the skillet and reheat, stirring gently. Quickly fold in the goat cheese, season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
