You buy the pasta, they’ll donate the money! Fasta & Ravioli Co. is teaming up with the Schlow Centre Region Library and the Centre County Library to promote National Library Week.

National Library Week runs from April 9^th through the 15^th. The week celebrates the contributions of our nation’s libraries and librarians, and promotes library use and support. During National Library Week, Fasta & Ravioli Co. will donate one dollar for each pound of fresh pasta sold that week to the Centre County Library, the Schlow Centre Region Library, and the Dauphin County Library System.

To kick things off, Chef Jeremiah McClenahan from Fasta & Ravioli Co. shares his recipe for Asparagus, Sun-dried Tomato, and Chicken with Tomato Basil Fettuccine.
