Couscous Crab Pepper Poppers Named Top Recipe in Pasta Presto Contest
The search for an innovative healthy pasta recipe has ended with Crestview, Florida resident Sherri Williams came out on top. The Pasta Presto recipe contest from the National Pasta Association’s Pasta Fits program asked consumers to submit their healthy, delicious, dinner solution for a chance to win a grand-prize of $1,500!
During the month of October, pasta recipes were submitted from Milwaukee to Miami and many US cities and towns in between. Once reviewed by the judges, three finalists were selected: Couscous Crab Pearl Pepper Poppers from Sherri Williams in Crestwood, Florida; Angel Hair Capresse Salad Cups from Leah Lyon in Ada, OK; and Pizza-Style Presto Pasta Paella from Roxanne Chan in Albany, California. The finalist recipes were put to a vote by the Pasta Fits Facebook fans.
The Couscous Crab Pearl Pepper Popper recipe received the most votes and was named top recipe of the contest! Sherri Williams was awarded the grand-prize prize of this national contest! Sherri and her winning recipe were featured in the Crestview Bulletin!
