The tao of pasta meals, this combines light and heavy. The “light” is the angel hair pasta, famous for its fabulous fork-twirling possibilities, and the bright lemon that gives this meal zest. The “heavy?” The briny artichokes and shrimp, fried to crispy perfection, giving you a bit more umph than your normal pasta dish. The tao is all about balance, and this meal is perfect on the scales. Follow the path to flavor.
