Oyster Pasta
4 Servings
We’re big fans of all things seafood, but for most folks, oyster pasta might seem like an unusual combination. As in love so in oysters: odd couples make for the happiest endings. Seasoned with dried basil, garlic salt, and grated Parmesan cheese, this recipe uses spiral rotini to capture all of the mouthwatering buttery sauce that pairs so effortlessly with our oysters. It’s a pretty easy recipe that’ll silence even the most diehard oyster objectors.
