Ingredients

  • 8 ounces whole wheat linguine (cooked according to package instructions)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound Shrimp (raw, peeled and deveined)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 5 ounces baby spinach or arugula
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese (shredded)
  • chili flakes (optional garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare pasta according to package instructions, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking liquid.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper on both sides and add to pan in a single layer. Cook until shrimp is pink, about 3 minutes total, turning once.
  3. Add garlic to the shrimp and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest and spinach/arugula blend. Sauté until greens start to wilt, about 2 minutes. 
  4. Stir cooked pasta, parmesan cheese and reserved cooking liquid into the pan and toss to coat. Season with chili flakes and additional salt and pepper to taste before serving hot.
