This is a recipe I got from a vendor at the Pike Place Market in Seattle. His stall was selling all kinds of yummy flavored pastas. If you make your own pasta, you can add a little creole seasoning to your pasta for this recipe...but if you don't, that's Ok just add about 1/2 T. of seasoning to the sauce.
