The experience: I love Italian food so when my friend Matt said he would teach me how to make a pasta dish I was thrilled. We made Lemon Shrimp Pasta. I was taught the ins and outs of cooking pasta and how to zest a lemon and cook shrimp. We paired the dish with Menage a Trois Red wine. Absolutely delicious.
