Steps:
- Pound the pesto ingredients to a paste in a pestle and mortar or food processor.
- Cook the pasta. Drain, return to the pan with the pesto and stir over a low-ish heat for 2-3 mins - not any longer or the sauce will go grey. Add the spinach and stir well for 1 min until it wilts. Add the walnuts, rocket, parsley, sage, chives, basil and tarragon, if using, and oil. Take off the heat and stir well before serving sprinkled with grated Parmesan.

PASTA WITH CRAYFISH AND FRESH HERBS
Inspired by Rick Stein, we made this lovely, simple, and delicious pasta last night. It was just fantastic. It is meant to be quite brothy and was lovely served with some steamed broccoli. Enjoy!

ALMOST AS SIMPLE PASTA WITH PARMESAN, HERBS, AND FRESH GARLIC
Another family favorite that lends itself to easy variations -- tweak the taste to complement the day's main dish by your choice of herbs. You probably have all these ingredients handy in your pantry and refrigerator. I swear the kids would eat this every day if I'd make it that often. I can't personally vouch for freezing it, but I know that it reheats well in the microwave after being refrigerated. Cooking time is mainly cooking the pasta.

PASTA WITH FRESH HERBS, LEMON AND PEAS
Buy a bunch of parsley along with basil or chives to keep on hand in your refrigerator. The herbs will keep for a week if properly stored. Produce departments often use misters, but greens don't keep well once wet. When you get home, spin the herbs in salad spinner if they're wet, wrap them in a paper towel and then bag them.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large bowl or pasta bowl, combine the herbs, lemon zest, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil.
- When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. A few minutes before the pasta is done, add the peas to the water. When the pasta is just about al dente, remove a half cup of the cooking water and add to the bowl with the herbs. Drain the pasta and peas, toss with the herb mixture and the cheese, and serve.
