John Martin Taylor may have been inspired by the food of southern Italy to make this recipe, but it fits right in with the cooking of the American South, which is enjoying a revival of kitchen gardens. Beyond the general use of herbs, mint gives this recipe a Dixie signature. When making your own mixture, start with basil and parsley as a base and add the more fragrant herbs as accents.

How to Make It
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderately high heat, until softened but not browned, about 30 seconds. Add the herbs and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Stir the contents of the skillet into the pasta along with 1/2 cup of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper and toss. Serve immediately and pass the additional cheese separately.
