I really love to cook but when the day has been stressful and the weather is hot, the last thing I want to do is slave over a stove.   I will admit, I take short cuts.  Yes I buy fresh pasta rather than make my own.  I also buy frozen herbs.   I first found them at Whole Foods but thought they were way to expensive and then I found them at Costco for much lower price.   The Costco pack included garlic (x2), basil (x2), parsley and cilantro. Don't get me wrong I prefer to use fresh ingredients but these come in a pitch and can save me from the temptation of ordering delivery.  Time and money my friends! Here is something I made and it took only 15 minutes.  This is faster than delivery and much healthier. Garlic Shrimp Linguine Ingredients 1 pack of fresh linguine 1/2 lb of raw shrimp (already cleaned) 3 cubes of frozen Doret Garlic (equals 3 cloves) 3 cubes of frozen Doret Basil (equals 3 tsps of fresh) tsp of red crushed pepper (use to your taste) 1 cup of cherry
