This parsley pasta may look plain but it’s are absolutely loaded with flavor! Parsley is my absolute favorite herb, I love the bright and fresh flavor of these greens, and they pair so well with noodles. I always get a few bunch of fresh parsley from my produce delivery, and I turned one of these bunches into a light and flavorful dinner idea.
Parsley is traditionally served as a garnish here in the states, but I love using it front & center in my recipes to make it the star. If you are looking for recipes with parsley you have in the fridge, we always love our easy parsley tabbouleh salad, my favorite tropical parsley smoothie, and hearty warming parsley noodle soup.
Parsley and pasta go so well together in this delicious dinner dish, completed with a simple and quick garlic sauce.

Grow Fresh Parsley on Your Counter All Year Long
We got this great countertop Aerogarden which is fantastic for growing herbs in the winter. We actually got it when we lived in a smaller apartment, but even now that we own an acreage we still use it year-round!
I love growing herbs on my countertop like fresh basil, dill, mint, sage, thyme, parsley, and lemon balm – perfect for this cucumber salad. It uses LED lights and water, so no messy soil needed – you can have fresh herbs at your fingertips any time.
I love picking a few springs of parsley to chop on pastas, adding basil leaves to soups, and tossing some dill in with my pasta salads. It also makes a great gift for anyone who would like fresh herbs… no big kitchen or green thumb required!
