How to make Pasta shells with garlic, coriander, mint butter

  1. Cook the pasta in half litre of boiling water with salt for seven minutes or till aldente, that is well cooked but still with a bite.
  2. Drain the pasta,but reserve some of the pasta cooked water. Wash the pasta immediately with running cold water and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter in low heat.
  4. Add the garlic with a pinch of salt and saute for a minute,taking care not to burn the garlic.
  5. Add the chopped coriander and mint leaves and saute for another minute.
  6. Add the cooked pasta, mix well and add a tablespoon of the pasta cooked water and mix well.

My Tip:

1. I used shell type pasta, the original recipe used pasta snails type macaroni, lumache rigate,but this type also worked well 2. Check the cooking of pasta right from 5 to 7 minutes. It needs to be cooked but still with a bite. 3. Nigella had used sea salt flakes for the sauce, if available you can use that.
