It's spring break this week so why not try out some lighter entrees. This take on pasta Primavera comes together in a half hour so it is quick enough for a weeknight.
Here are your ingredients;
- 1 box of pasta (I used farfalle)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1 pound shrimp
- 1 head of broccoli chopped
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sundried tomatoes packed in oil (drained, chopped)
- 1/2 cup peas
And here is how you put the dish together:
- Prepare pasta according to package directions (reserve about a half cup of the pasta water)
- In a large skillet over medium heat add butter, garlic and onion for about a minute
- Add shrimp, broccoli, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes
- Cook for 3 minutes until shrimp are cooked through and pink
- In a small bowl whisk milk and flour and add to skillet along with the cheese, stir to combine
- Add sundried tomatoes and peas continue cooking until sauce thickens (about 3 minutes)
- If you skillet isn't large enough transfer everything to a large mixing bowl, add pasta and stir.
- If sauce is too thick just add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up a bit
