An easy recipe for rotini pasta with olive oil, herbs, and italian seasoning.
This recipe was born in Costco, of all places.
Not that that is surprising considering how much time and money I spend there in a month.
And, to top it all off, all the ingredients used in this pasta recipe were purchased at Costco...Not a huge shocker though really.
Anyway, a taste testing station offered a small portion of pasta tossed with oil and herbs. And, oh my goodness, it was so tasty! My oldest son gobbled it right up. But I'm pretty sure he gobbles up all pasta.
Naturally, I had to recreate it at home and it's become a staple at our house ever since.
My youngest didn't care for it the first time I served it, but now it's like his favorite way to eat pasta lately. He requests it quite frequently.
So if you're looking for a quick and easy rotini pasta recipe, then you definitely want to try this pasta with olive oil and herbs because it's delish!
An Easy Rotini Pasta Recipe the Whole Family Will Love!
My youngest son likes to be the one to add italian spices and olive oil to this easy pasta recipe and mix it all up. It really only takes a few minutes to put together too, making it perfect for busy evenings or a quick lunch on the weekends.
We also like to use this pasta recipe as a base for pasta bowls by adding special toppings like shredded cheese, vegetables, and/or chopped meat.
You could also swap out the rotini for some other favorite pasta shape like butterflies or shells. It doesn't have to be rotini, but it's usually our top choice for this recipe because the oil and herbs just cling to ever like nook and cranny.
So grab your forks and let's dig in! But hold it first so I can take a picture! 😂

This is very similar to something I've been making for years, which is a complete meal as it also includes sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast flakes, and vegetables. Pretty much any veggies taste great with olive oil and herbs! Here's an article about testing my trusty recipe on gluten-free pasta:
