Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces short pasta, such as penne or fusilli
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 1/2 teaspoons (or more) kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon (or more) freshly ground black pepper
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen broccoli florets
6 ounces green beans, preferably haricots verts, trimmed
8 ounces large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left on
1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 cup frozen green peas
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup coarsely chopped basil
Red pepper flakes (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Place pasta in a large, wide-bottomed pot or large, wide, straight-sided pan. Add garlic, salt, black pepper, and 3 1/2 cups hot water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover and cook, setting a timer for cooking pasta according to package directions and stirring often. When 5 minutes remain on timer, stir in broccoli and green beans.

SHRIMP AND PENNE PRIMAVERA



Shrimp and Penne Primavera image

Pasta's reputation - restored! With the bad press that pasta's been getting in these carb-phobic times, you may have given it up entirely. The truth is, pasta is only a problem when the noodles make the meal. The trick is rounding it out with healthy add-ins. Here, Whole Foods Markets' executive chef Steven Petsevsky has tossed in a day's supply of vegetables; they supply lots of vitamin C and good-for-you phytochemicals - plus fiber. Shrimp adds a kick of protein, and a handful of fresh herbs makes all the flavors sparkle. Self's testers' verdict: yum.

Categories     Pasta     Tomato     Sauté     Low Fat     Shrimp     Artichoke     Broccoli     Summer     Self

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 sun-dried tomato halves
12 oz penne pasta
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 medium green bell peppers, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
3 cups broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 cup artichoke hearts in brine, drained and quartered
2 medium tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
1 tbsp minced fresh basil
1 tbsp minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, soak sun-dried tomatoes in hot water 20 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water until tender, then drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Sauté shrimp, onion, peppers, broccoli florets, garlic and oregano 5 minutes, adding a bit of water to prevent sticking if needed. Mince the softened sun-dried tomatoes and add to the pan with artichokes, tomato wedges and cooked pasta; continue to cook, stirring, about 2 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender and pasta is heated through. Add herbs; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • If you don't have any shrimp on hand, you can substitute chicken, tofu, or vegetables.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
  • Add the lemon juice and zest at the end of cooking to brighten the flavors.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives, before serving.

Conclusion:

Penne primavera with shrimp is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its colorful array of vegetables, succulent shrimp, and creamy sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
