Multi-Color Peppers, Tomato, and Fresh Mozzarella Pasta with Basil Garlic Butter (Dorot Garlic and Herbs) + a Giveaway!

     Do you ever buy a small bunch of herbs at the store in hopes of using them in several recipes only to have them die on you several days later?  This happens to me all the time!  I get so annoyed that I'm throwing money out the window but fresh herbs are so much better then the dried ones in recipes.  I've been looking at a way to make them last longer and finally found Dorot Garlic and Herbs.

      Dorot Garlic and Herbs are picked, then immediately chopped, then packaged and frozen in a unique fast freeze process, maintaining their taste, freshness and nutritive value.  They are perfect for use in soups, dinners, and side dishes!  I love the fact that I can keep them in the freezer and pull them out as needed and they won't be dead within a week.

     Want to try them out for yourself?  Check out my giveaway at the end of the post to win Dorot Garlic and Herbs!   One of my readers will win 6 coupons good for free Dorot products!

Peppers, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella pasta with Basil Garlic Butter #giveaway

      I've been really enjoying using this product because it makes cooking so much easier.  There's no chopping, so hands smelling like garlic, and no worrying about the herbs going bad.  The very first recipe I made using these herbs was a delicious pasta dish.

     I made a multi-colored pepper, fresh tomato and mozzarella pasta with a basil garlic butter.  This dish was so easy I had it completely made in 20 minutes.  It is also a really pretty dish with the green, red, orange, and yellow peppers topped off with fresh mozzarella.  I'm thinking this one is going to be on our menu a lot in the coming months!
