I went to our Saturday morning outdoor market and found the Pappardelle's Pasta stand. They sell flavored pasta's, oils and sauces. I was in the mood for shrimp so I choose the Lemon Garlic Linguine flavor. I also bought the Roasted Garlic Herb Fettuccine (Recipe: Ginger Beef Stir Fry with Roasted Garlic Herb Pasta).
