Chimichurri Rigatoni. Have you ever had it before? What about Chimichurri? If you've had Chimichurri then this dish may sound odd. But I promise it's delicious. Chimichurri is a sauce originally from Argentina. It's usually made with parsley, coriander, garlic, vinegar and olive oil. I see it mostly used as a marinade for meats or dipping sauce for breads, but never in pasta. I tried it last week and it came it pretty delicious.
Quick recipe... I don't measure the ingredients. Sorry.
Chimichurri
- a bunch of parsley
- cilantro

Blend all of the above in a food processor. I used my mini Ninja Blender. Set aside.
