PASTA WITH GARLIC SHRIMP

PASTA WITH GARLIC SHRIMP

DINNER AT HOME

After eating a few pasta dishes out at restaurants and paying too much for minimal flavor I hit the kitchen and made my own pasta dinner for a fraction of the cost.  This simple dish was delicious.

Included shallots, garlic, onions, bell pepper and carrots because I had these items in the refrigerator.  Sautéed the veggies in olive oil and then added one jar of Bertolli's Tomato and Basil Sauce.  Added fresh basil and Italian parsley from the garden.   In a separate pan I sautéed chopped garlic and a little crushed red pepper in butter and olive oil.  Added the shrimp and cooked for just a few minutes.  Cooked the pasta to al dente and topped with sauce and shrimp.  Entire family loved this quick, easy and inexpensive dish!

We had frozen Langoustines and Shrimp in the freezer so I typed these ingredients with the word Pasta into Pinterest and found this easy and delicious recipe that I would definitely make again.   

This recipe makes a really good Pasta Sauce that you could use with Seafood, Chicken or Vegetables.

I threw in some Pancetta because we had some in the refrigerator.  Added another layer of flavor but totally not necessary.

DINNER AT HOME

There is nothing like a good pasta dish to end the day.  I love all things pasta and could probably eat it every day of the week.  We always keep a good supply of Bertolli Pasta Sauce in the pantry so we can easily cook up a pasta meal with shrimp, chicken, vegetables or whatever else is in the refrigerator.  I sauteed some onion, carrots, celery and garlic and then cooked the shrimp and added it to a warmed Bertolli Tomato and Basil Sauce.  This simple only took minutes and was delicious!

DINNER AT HOME

Seems like I am enjoying cooking again.  Lately I have been digging through the refrigerator in an attempt to use ingredients that we have in the house. The goal is to use up what we have and not go to the store.  We had some great looking shrimp and some Italian Parsley so I whipped up a really good Shrimp Scampi with Pasta.  The dish came out perfect and tasted delicious.  Ingredients are;

pasta, shrimp, garlic, butter, olive oil, crushed red pepper, salt, pepper, lemon juice and Italian parsley.  That's it!
