What does a perfect pasta contain? It requires a great deal of skill to choose the right herbs and ingredients to go with pasta.While pasta can be spaghetti, fettuccini or lasagne, fresh parsely and oregano make the perfect herbs.Tossing it in virgin olive oil and sundried tomatos would give out a lovely aroma and as far as topping goes it is better to stick to good old capers and olives for that pungent flavor and finishing it with parmesan cheese, would make the perfect creamy Italian pasta.
