Check out River Valley Pasta at Saturday's Farmers' Market

If you could flavor your own pasta, what might you choose?

How about sun-dried tomato, fresh herb, mushroom, roasted garlic or spinach?

One of the Bluffton Farmers’ Market vendors, Alee Gratz-Collier, will have several of those options for sale most Saturdays.

Alee and her boyfriend, Mike Anderson, recently formed River Valley Pasta and each week create a fresh batch of their secret recipe for sale at the market.

“We started making it commercially four months ago,” said Alee. “Before that we experimented on different flavors, sharing with our friends.”
