This will be the easiest pasta you make. Packed with incredible flavor that only takes moments to put together! Â
 Some nights require the bare minimum of effort, and this is one of those meals that tastes like you spent hours preparing it. Thankfully, that is not the case. We will be making a chunky puree that consists of basil, parsley, arugula, garlic olive oil, mint, and tomatillo tomatoes!
I know it sounds a bit odd, but you must trust me and give this herb dish a try. Tossed with al dente spaghetti and finished off with grated parmesan cheese, it is such a tantalizing dance for the tastebuds! The raw tomatillos give such a fun and tangy bite paired with the mint and other herbs. We love to eat this dish regularly in my home and the BEST part is if you make a large batch, you can have leftovers cold! Thats right, cold. It can be eaten either way. Â
I often serve with a Cesear salad and French baguette sliced and dipped into olive oil with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Â
 Ok let’s get started!Â
