Shrimp & Spinach Fregola Sarda
As a home cook, I am always on the lookout for new ingredients to try in my dishes. Ben to Table, a subscription box specifically curated for at-home cooks and food lovers like me, sent the Italian Delicacies for me to try. The box is filled with interesting ingredients, including Fregola Sardinian pasta, a pebble pasta I had yet to use in my cooking. The box inspired this pasta dish, which used a few of the ingredients mixed with some items I had on hand.
