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.

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:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time by prepping veggies, marinating shrimp, and measuring ingredients beforehand.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the tastier the dish. Look for vibrant veggies and plump shrimp.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. It should be cooked through but still tender.
  • Add Some Heat: If you like a little spice, add some red pepper flakes or chili powder to the sauce.
  • Serve Immediately: Zesty Shrimp Primavera is best served hot, so make sure to have everything ready before you start cooking.
