Green Goddess Pasta

This isn't your average green goddess pasta salad, it's not even a pasta salad. This is a warm 15-minute, fresh, flavorful pasta dish that uses all the herbs found in green goddess dressing, goat cheese plus salted lemon almonds to create the perfect mixture of creamy and crunch.

Step 1

Destem and chop up the parsley, basil, cilantro, chives, scallions and dill. They don't need to be perfect, but just roughly chopped.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt the water generously and boil your pasta of choice according to the instructions, mine took about 7 minutes to become al dente.

Step 3

Drain the pasta, but reserve 1/4 cup of starchy pasta water.

Step 4

Add the goat cheese, pasta water and drained pasta to a bowl, mix until the cheese is evenly distributed and slightly melty. Squeeze in the juice from 1/2 of a lemon and stir again.

Step 5

Add in the chopped herbs. Stir well. You want the pasta to still be warm so that the herbs wilt slightly.

Step 6

Optional, but highly encouraged – take two minutes to toast the slivered almonds in a skillet on medium heat. Add in the olive oil, juice from 1/2 of a lemon and salt to taste. Stir until the almonds are golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

Serve the pasta warm and top with the salted lemon almonds. And that's it!
