Tips for Margarine Herb Pasta

Look for garlic that is fragrant but still pale; browning can make its flavor bitter.
The finished pasta should look lightly glossy, with herbs distributed evenly rather than clumped.
Chop the herbs just before using so they retain their fresh aroma and color.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry white wine such as Pinot Grigio
Its light, fresh character complements the buttery pasta and fragrant herbs without overpowering them.
