Did you know Mint leaves are used in teas, beverages, jellies, syrups, candies, and ice creams. It is also used as flavorings in breath fresheners, drinks, antiseptic mouth rinses, toothpaste, chewing gum, and desserts. We never thought of trying it in a pasta and it worked out fantastically. It was also very quick and easy to make and prepare!
