Trial sample done....It wasn't as fiddly as I thought. These stems are very young so only needed gentle stripping of the fibres and hardly any scraping. I boiled some herbs in salted water, removed the herbs then simmered the 'pasta' for no more than two minutes. More time might be needed when the stems are older.
It was surprisingly delicious and they held their shape and colour. I wouldn't serve it with a strong sauce. Melted herb or garlic butter would be just right.
