The Spinach linguine that I picked up at the Farmers Market made for an awesomely light dinner.

I made a very simple sauce of lemon juice and zest, garlic, olive oil, red bell pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes.

The sauce came together in minutes!  It was one of the easiest and most flavorful dishes I have made in quite some time.  You could really taste all of the individual flavors, including the pasta!

[I admit, my pasta plating needs work if I'm going to be taking pictures.]

Usually flavored pastas taste like regular pasta to me, just with a different color–but this pasta was awesome!  It is certainly more expensive than traditional store-bought pasta, but with flavor this good, I’ll definitely be back for some more next weekend.

I had a glass of this Beaujolais with dinner, but it was just ok, I probably wouldn’t buy it again.  It was cheap though :)
