- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to the boil. Cook the fusilli in the boiling water until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Remove 75ml of the water from the pot and set aside. Drain the fusilli.
- Combine the fusilli and reserved water in a large bowl; stir the lemon juice, lime juice, parsley, coriander and sage through the pasta until evenly mixed. Serve hot.
Tip
Make this a satisfying vegan main by adding 2 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil to the mix along with the lemon and lime juice.

How nice to have a pasta dish that has no tomato sauce or cream sauce that makes a great accompaniment for other ingredients. This was perfect as a nest for Texas Beer Boiled Shrimp. I used angel hair pasta and cut the water back to just 1 tbs, which I added to 1 tbs lemon and lime juice and 1 tbs EVOO for 2 servings. Cilantro isn't a favorite so I used basil instead and reduced the sage to a rounded tsp. The possibilities are endless. Thank you Ryan, this is a keeper! - 01 Mar 2013 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This is a nice light pasta. I used fresh parsley, lemon balm, and basil. This would be really good reducing the water and adding a drizzle of olive oil. Also, this would be good with a little added zing- maybe with a little sprinkle of parmesan. - 20 Jun 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Good, if your going to have it as a main meal may want to add some kind of meat. Next time I think I'm going to try that and only adding half a tablespoon of each herb. - 14 Jun 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
