Borage Pasta
Here’s a different twist on pasta! This is a cool dish for a summer day, as the borage has a slightly cucumber like flavour.

• 400g borage leaves
• salt
• 8 T vegetable or olive oil
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice

4. Puree borage together with the oil and lemon juice.
5. Heat the broth and stir in the borage puree.
