Ingredients

  • 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)
  • ¼ cup DeLallo Pesto
  • ½ cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 large tomato (diced)
  • DeLallo Parmesan Cheese (shaved, to garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare DeLallo Biodynamic Whole-Wheat Penne according to package instructions, reserving 1 cup of the starchy cooking liquid; set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. 
  4. 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. 
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the pan, along with the tomatoes and peas, and toss well. Serve with parmesan cheese to garnish.
