NOTES : Advance Preparation: May be prepared up to 3 days in advance and

refrigerated. Stir before tossing with pasta.

 

Hints: Refrigerate opened container of olive oil. The oil will cloud and

solidify, but it will clear and liquefy when set at room

temperature for a few minutes.

 

Store dried herbs out of direct sunlight and in jars or tins rather than in

cardboard boxes.
