Introducing… my new favorite pasta shape, pappardelle! I like how the sauce coats the pasta well so you really get lots of flavor in each big bite!
Also, if you haven’t realized by now, I LOVE basil in my pasta dishes. They really elevate more earthy flavors – and makes it taste so fresh with just a small portion of fresh basil!
