Ok it looks hard but really it is super easy and way yummy!
Farfalle With Shrimp, Asparagus And Parmesan serves 2-4
ingredients:
1/2 pound farfalle (I substituted angel hair)
4 teaspoons olive oil3
/4 pound shrimp (thawed if frozen) (Target has frozen shrimp, in a bag for $4.99)
peeled 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup tomato purée (I used stewed tomatoes with garlic and onions)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (yeah right, I used the bag stuff)
salt and pepper
prep: 10 minutes (this is the recipes estimate, it took me a little longer but I think the next time I make it I will be closer to this time)
total: 35 minutes (pretty accurate)
Utensils:
large pot
sauté pan
grater
colander
tongs
1. Bring a pot of water and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil. When the water boils, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
2. When the pasta is 5 minutes from being done: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of the oil and season them lightly with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the pan and leave them alone to brown on the first side, 1-2 minutes. Turn them with tongs and brown them another 1-2 minutes on the second side. Remove the shrimp to a bowl.
3. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil and the asparagus to the empty pan. Season the asparagus with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Leave them alone to brown, 1-2 minutes. Add the shrimp back to the pan, along with the tomato purée and 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Reduce the heat to medium.
4. Add the pasta and lemon zest to the pan. Simmer the pasta with the sauce until the sauce has thickened and coats the pasta. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parmesan.
We just had the rest for lunch and it way good reheated. We added some more seasoning to give it a kick and I think that helped too - so maybe add a sprinkle of Tony Chachere's creole seasoning and some crushed red pepper flakes.
Bon Appetit!
