I was really feeling like a shrimp pasta dish today. And what Mommy wants, Mommy gets:) This is so light, yet packed full of flavor. I was worried that the sauce wouldn't be "saucy" enough and I can't eat a pasta without a flavorful sauce, but I was surprised at how thick and delicious the sauce was.
