Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 ounces DeLallo Biodynamic Whole-Wheat Penne (or other short cut pasta)
  • 1 tablespoon DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound shrimp (raw, peeled and deveined)
  • 1/4 cup DeLallo Pesto
  • 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 large tomato (diced)
  • DeLallo Parmesan Cheese (shaved, to garnish)

Instruction

  • Prepare DeLallo Biodynamic Whole-Wheat Penne according to package instructions, reserving 1 cup of the starchy cooking liquid; set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat a deep skillet over medium high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Pat shrimp dry with paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Add garlic to the hot pan and heat until fragrant, about 20 seconds, before adding the shrimp in a single layer. Sear shrimp until bright pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. 
  • Drizzle pesto into the pan and sauté to coat shrimp. Pour in a little of the reserved starchy cooking liquid and deglaze the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. 
  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan, along with the tomatoes and peas, and toss well. Serve with parmesan cheese to garnish.
