During Blogher 2012 as I was walking through the Expo Hall, I was offered a pasta sample from the Land ‘O Lakes booth. After confirming the dish had no meat, I took a sample. I fell in love. This is one of the easiest and delicious pasta I have in my rotation.
Unfortunately my local grocery store didn’t have the Land O Lakes Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt but I was able to find a Olive Oil butter from another brand. I also made it one evening with just regular butter and added a couple pinches of sea salt and it still tasted great.
