Try this No Cook Herb and Cheese Sauce recipe with your favorite pasta for a great main dish meal.
One of the greatest trends in summer cooking is no-cook pasta sauces. This version had some interesting flavor complexities owing to the lemon verbena and smoky cheese, but we’d bet it would be good even without them.
