Say you're late, running out of time. Or your daily tasks are taking too much time. You don't have time to relax and unwind. Don't sweat it; we're given you a bunch of thyme here. Yes, that’s one of our signature lame word puns, but I also this: the thyme mustard sauce enrobing this pasta will make time melt away in joy. This meal is super easy and quick to make, which also will save you time. Thyme saving you time… our word puns are almost as good as this meal.
