In our house, fresh pasta is a weakness for both of us. There really isn’t anything like it, right? Over the weekend we decided to try something new for our date night. We headed over to Salumeria in Potrero Hill to pick up a fun little new treat – their Weekend Pasta Project kit. The kit includes all the ingredients for dinner for two – fresh pasta that comes straight over from flour + water’s dough room, pasta sauce ingredients, veggies or protein and the recipe.
We were excited to try this project so we brought it back home and start cooking right away. The result – a mouth watering pasta dish that had my mouth dancing. Luckily, you can make this dish right in your very own home. Enjoy friends!
