Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped mint
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp chopped tarragon
1/2 tsp chopped thyme
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 large garlic clove, minced
pinch of saffron threads
1/2 lb linguine
1/4 lb manchego or young pecorino cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler
1/2 cup sliced almonds , toasted until golden
freshly ground pepper

Directions:

In a blender, puree the parsley with the mint, olive oil, tarragon, thyme and lemon juice. Scrape the oil into a bowl.
Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the garlic and saffron and cook over low heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Cook the linguine in boiling salted water until al dente. Set the skillet with the garlic over moderately high heat and add 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta, add it to the skillet and toss well. Transfer the pasta to warmed shallow bowls. Top with the cheese shavings, toasted almonds and herb oil. Sprinkle the linguine with pepper and serve at once.
