1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced

2. Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan.
3. Stir in the parsley and basil.
4. Stir the mixture over low heat, just until warm (Do not let the sauce come to a boil).
5. Toss the sauce with hot, freshly cooked pasta in a large pot over low heat.
