Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) spaghetti
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil, divided
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 Cups fresh basil leaves, torn
• 1 Tablespoon fresh oregano, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 0.5 Cups half-and-half cream

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large bowl to prevent sticking; set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, torn basil, chopped oregano, salt, black pepper, half-and-half, and 0.5 cups of olive oil until well combined.
3. Pour the dressing over the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat evenly.
4. Add the sliced green and red bell peppers, minced parsley, julienned Jarlsberg cheese, and chopped pecans to the spaghetti. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
5. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the salad just before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
6. Allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy your Herb-Infused Spaghetti Salad with Jarlsberg and Toasted Pecans!
