This sauce was a combination of a recipe we found in La Vera Cucina Italiana by Donaldo Soviero and DH's creativity. We used med-lge shrimp, about 41-50 size. We had a lovely crop of Chanterelles in the woods and DH made fresh pasta using the recipe on the back of King Arthur's Perfect Pasta Blend. There is a copycat version of this pasta blend posted here, Recipe #227629. This is a fantastic dinner to share with good friends. All you need is a green salad with a simple vinaigrette and some nice Chianti, light some candles and get ready to enjoy dinner!
