122 Tree Lane's Creole Pasta for Foodie Friday

It's Foodie Friday, hosted by Gollum!
I am so lucky to live in the town that I do. I just Love Helena, Alabama. We have the best of both worlds-we are both a little country town with the comforts of the big city. It's great...we have that hometown feel. It's a town where community is important. And thus is my choice for my Foodie Friday recipe.
It's from a quiant little restaurant called 122 Tree Lane. I have had the pleasure of dining at Tree lane, it's delicious and such an asset to Helena. Located in the heart of Old Town Helena, the menu is a fresh and innovative way to tie the classics to modern food styles. At 122 Tree lane, they pride themselves in offering food that is exquisite in appearance and flavor.The restaurant is a perfect place for a ladies lunch or corporate lunch. With the white table clothes and placed silverware, the service matches the decor.
Todays' dish is courtosey of 122 TreeLane, it's Creole Pasta and it is a signature dish of 122 Tree Lane.
Today I bring you a video of the Tree Lane chef, Etricia Williams, preparing the dish on our local tv station, NBC 13's daytime talk show called, "Daytime Alabama". Its a very simple dish to prepare. Grab a paper and pen to jot down the ingredients and simple instructions or you can read what I took down very quickly below.
