Shrimp Fettuccine with Veggies
I usually cook fettuccine pasta using cream sauce adding 3 to 4 types of cheeses... but cream sauces are very filling, so I decided to do a simple puttanesca sauce with shrimp and garden vegetables...ideal for that hot summer day.
Ingredients:
1/2 box fettuccine pasta
1/4 kg shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 broccoli flower, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced to half inch sizes
5 cloves of garlic, diced
chopped Italian parsley
1 can, Italian style stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 tspn oregano and basil
grated parmesan cheese
Recipe:
Boil a pot of water with a teaspoon of salt for 10 minutes and set aside. Using a deep pan, heat the olive oil and add the shrimp heads, mashing it so all the good stuff comes out of the head and discard the head after 5 minutes.
Using the same pan, add the vegetables and shrimp for about 2 minutes. Add the can of stewed tomatoes while mixing for about a minute. Cover the pan and leave for 5 minutes.
Add the pasta and toss to mix everything for another minute and add the chopped parsley and parmesan cheese. Serve hot on a platter!
