Shrimp & Spinach Fregola Sarda (Edit recipe)

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.

  5. Add fresh, chopped spinach and grilled onions (optional) to the skilled when you add in the last bit of broth, stirring until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the spinach is just wilted.
