Q: pasta like spaghetti or fetuccine. thank you

A: You wouldn't get the full effect from the herb if you boil it with the pasta. That is why pasta is commonly cooked with just a dash of olive oil and some salt. Then make the herb and aromatic 'sauce' in a skillet big enough to place the cooked pasta in to toss it.

While pasta cooks saute' in skillet onions, garlic, peppers, etc in olive

You can add the herbs right after you drain your pasta. It will stick to the pasta and flavor it. Fresh herbs are better. If you use fresh you need more - if you use dry use less (dry is more potent).

Try to only use garlic, salt or pepper in the water - other herbs can turn bitter.

You won't get the full kick of the herbs, so I would have to say no. You can go crazy with the sauce though!

Here the darker pink flowers are my red creeping thyme. The light pink flowers belong to wild thyme. It was here when we came and grows in large patches all through the grass. You can smell it when you walk. It is the wild thyme that cascades off the edge of the patio. How can I argue with that?  Thyme is thyme. We will enjoy the flowers and the bees until the thyme begins to go to seed, then we will give the patio a short haircut with the weed whacker. If you want to keep your thyme in good condition , you have to cut it back after it flowers.
