Pasta with aromatic herbs

Cinnamon basilI also used some cinnamon basil: although it has a delicate flavor, it added much taste to this dish.

Cinnamon basil is one of my favourite herbs, it can be used in teas, desserts and many savory dishes, every autumn when it dies I can t wait to grow it again.
