Whole Wheat Pasta With Shrimp And Herbs Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the penne according to package directions. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, spray large skillet with olive oil cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot; add the shrimp. Salt and pepper liberally. Cook, stirring frequently 5 to 7 minutes or until opaque and thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, shrimp, olive oil, basil, parsley, thyme and Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir until aromatic, 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften, about 2 minutes. Using a fork, lightly mash the tomatoes. Add the wine and asparagus. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and continue to simmer until the shrimp are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the mint, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs. Reserve 2/3 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the beans, cherry peppers, garlic, red pepper flakes and ½ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic starts browning, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
• Add the pasta and lemon zest and juice to the skillet and toss to coat. Gradually add the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen. Add the parsley, season with salt and pepper and toss.

Steps:

• Note on Italian dressing: I use about 1/4 cup for marinating, but discard most of it after marinading. I list 1 T. in the ingredient list so that the nutrition facts more accurately reflect what is eaten and what is discarded.
• Marinate shrimp in about 1/4 cup Italian dressing. A Ziplock bag is handy for this step. **You'll be discarding most of the marinade later.
• While shrimp is marinating, heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut cherry tomatoes in half. Toss tomatoes with olive oil and garlic salt. Place tomatoes in shallow metal roasting pan, cut sides UP, which will help tomato juices to evaporate. Roast 30 minutes until bottoms start to caramelize and have bits of black (metal pans helps achieve caramelization during roasting).
• When tomatoes are done, push them toward the center of the pan and place shrimp around the outside of the pan. Discard marinade. Continue to roast tomatoes and shrimp about 4-6 more minutes, depending on the size of your shrimp (turn once after 2 minutes).
• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with cooked tomatoes and shrimp. Use the reserved pasta water to clean up any bits in the roasting pan, and then add this flavorful water to the pasta as well.
• Toss everything with basil leaves and romano cheese. Serve.

Steps:

• Prepare the pasta al dente (cook in boiling water for 9 minutes). Sprinkle and toss with a little olive oil and set aside in a pasta dish.
• Dry each scallop thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
• Warm the olive oil in a frying pan on a high heat.
• Evenly space the scallops and cook for 2 minutes on one side. If are using a smaller size pan, you may have to do two or three batches.
• After 2 minutes, flip the scallops and continue cooking them for an additional 1-2 minutes, then immediately remove them from the pan.
• Add the butter and onions to the pan and saute the onions until they are tender, then add the garlic and tomatoes.
• Add the white wine and stir to form a sauce then season with salt and pepper.
• Coat the pasta with the sauce and add scallops.
• Sprinkle with the herbs, add a couple of dashes of lemon juice and serve. I also like to add some crushed red pepper or crushed chipotle pepper but that is your call.

Steps:

• Cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package. Rinse with cold water; drain.
• Cook asparagus in enough boiling water to cover 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
• In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, zucchini and peas; cook about 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender.
• In large bowl, toss asparagus mixture, fettuccine, tomato, basil and pepper. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until chilled. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a medium bowl, or on a clean board. Make a hollow in the center, and pour in the olive oil. Break eggs into it one at a time, while mixing quickly with a fork until the dough is wet enough to come together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is stiff and elastic. Cover, and let stand for 30 minutes to relax.
• Roll out dough by hand with a rolling pin, or use a pasta machine to achieve the desired thickness of noodles. Cut into desired width and shapes. Allow the pasta to air dry for at least 15 minutes to avoid having it clump together.
