Its actually part of the wormwood family, which is the hallucinogenic ingredient in Absinthe. Both delicious. I made a Lemon-Pepper and Tarragon pasta, with zucchini, squash, carrots, tomatoes, just in some olive oil. Boil your pasta. Then I sauteed the zucchini, squash and carrots in olive oil and lots of fresh cracked pepper and a few whole peppercorns, some fresh lemon zest and some tarragon, I used dried spices but I'm sure fresh ones would be much better. Oh! the carrots, they are great cooked in pasta dishes, they add a well balanced natural sweetness to your dish, and they're colorful. Then you add pasta, some more olive oil, and fresh tomatoes. The tomatoes add another great bright, sweet flavor. I made some Garlic Ciabatta bread, and a spinach salad (I miss my garden, bag spinach tastes like dirt.) Little bit of wine, Jilli's white was much better with this. A really flavorful, light, happy lunch. Thanks again!!
