PASTA WITH MEATBALLS AND HERB SAUCE
Before you use herbs as a main ingredient - it helps to know which ones work on a grand scale. Parsley, obviously, works in abundance: it's clean-tasting, pleasantly grassy and almost never overwhelming. You can add literally a bunch (bunches!) of it to salad, soup, eggs, pasta, grains or beans. The same is largely true of basil, and you can use other mild herbs - chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, shiso - by at least the handful. (Mint is also useful but will easily take over a dish if you add too much of it. But all of these are great for making herb pastes, or pestos, alone or in combination. Use the same technique you use for basil pesto.)

Steps:
- Mix together the basil, parsley and chives. Soak the bread in the milk for 5 minutes, then gently squeeze any excess milk from the bread; discard the milk. Combine the bread with the meat, 1 cup of the herbs and some salt and pepper; shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cook the pasta in the boiling water until tender but not mushy. While the pasta is cooking, purée 11/2 cups of the herbs with 4 tablespoons oil, the garlic and some salt and pepper in a mini food processor or blender; leave the sauce rough or add a little water if you want it smoother. Drain the pasta, reserving about a cup of its cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the herb sauce and most of the remaining herbs, adding the reserved liquid if the mixture seems dry. Top with the meatballs, garnish with Parmesan and the last of the herbs and serve.

PASTA WITH CREAMY HERB SAUCE
This cozy pasta is the perfect place to use up any hard-stem herbs like sage, thyme or rosemary that are languishing in your fridge. Add the herbs and a cinnamon stick to a pot of heavy cream. As they bubble together, the cream takes on a surprising but subtle herbaceousness. Use it to sauce pasta noodles and winter greens. If you don't have the herbs listed, leave them out or swap in marjoram or bay leaves, or even dried chile, lemon peel, garlic, shallot or leeks. The method of infusing cream with flavorings, then using it to sauce pasta, is open to adaptation. To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter .

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sage, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium and cook until the cream has thickened slightly and is reduced to about 1 cup, 12 to 15 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat until the pasta's ready.
- When the cream is at the halfway point, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until a minute or 2 shy of al dente. About 3 minutes before draining the pasta, add the greens to the water. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and greens with a colander and return to the pot.
- Place the just-used colander over the pot of pasta, then strain the infused cream through the colander into the noodles. (Discard or compost the herbs and cinnamon stick.) Add the 1/2 cup pasta water to the pasta, set over medium-high heat, and cook, tossing, until the sauce glosses the noodles, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

PASTA WITH GREEN MEATBALLS AND HERB SAUCE
Steps:
- 1. Combine the herbs into a bowl to mix well. Soak the bread with the milk for 5 minutes, then remove and lightly squeeze out the milk. Break the bread up into a bowl, then combine with the ground meat, 1 cup of the herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Work the mixture with your hands until well-combined, adding a little of the milk, if necessary, to help bind the ingredients into a slightly sticky consistency. Shape into 1-inch meatballs. 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. 3. In the meantime, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the meatballs (in batches to avoid crowding) and cook until brown on all sides, 5-10 minutes. Remove to a plate and reserve the pan drippings. 4. In a small food processor, combine the remaining herbs, remaining olive oil, garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 1/4 cup of water. Process until pureed, and season to taste if necessary. 5. Put the drained pasta into the skillet where the meatballs were cooked, along with a splash of the pasta cooking water. Add the herb sauce and toss well over low heat, adding more pasta water if necessary to create a smooth sauce that clings to the noodles. Season to taste. Divide among bowls, top with the meatballs and Parmesan, and serve.
