Instructions

Step 1

These instructions are for spaghetti noodles. You need a 9×9" nonstick pan that is 2-2.5" deep.

Step 2

In a deep 9x9 saucepan, melt 2 T of butter. Add the pepper, oregano, paprika, and turmeric. Remove from heat. Shred the spinach and basil by hand, pluck the leaves from your thyme sprigs, slice your mushrooms and sweet mini peppers, snip your green onions and rosematy needles with a pair of kitchen shears, and mince your garlic. Add it all to the pan and turn the heat to low, coating it in the herb butter.
