SO HOW'D IT GO?
I added a little more to this recipe.. Fry up some mixed vegetables (I used shredded carrots, celery, chives and peppers) with some chopped garlic. Add some fresh ginger to the sauce mix. Combine everything together, let it cool down in the fridge, top with some chopped almonds and you've got a delicious cold pasta salad.
I took the amounts for the herbs down to a half-teaspoon and even that was too intense and too gritty for my tastes. Even adding button mushrooms and grinding the rosemary couldn't save it.
I changed the quantities from 1 Tablespoon to 1 Teaspoon as it seemed like too much herb. It was really tasty, but a little "leafy" from the Rosemarry needles. I would use powdered Rosemary if I made it again and stick with the smaller quantities of herbs.
I probably meant to put Teaspoon, sorry about that. Thank you for letting me know how you used it, I might try the powered rosemary, that's a good idea.
