CREAMY GEMELLI PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add gemelli and cook, stirring occasionally, to desired tenderness, 6 to 11 minutes. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
• At the same time, bring another small pot of water to a boil. Add peas and boil until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
• Juice 3 of the lemon halves. Slice the remaining half into thin rounds. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a deep skillet or large pot over medium-high heat. Add peas, zucchini, and garlic; cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes; be careful not to overcook. Remove from the heat.
• Add cooked gemelli to the shrimp-vegetable mixture. Stir in creme fraiche and lemon juice and season with more salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with lemon slices and basil.

GEMELLI WITH SHRIMP AND TOMATO CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet. Add the onion, chopped fennel and bell pepper and sauté until all are tender. Stir in the fennel seeds and the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook about 15 minutes.
• Stir in the shrimp and cook a minute or two longer, but just until the shrimp are cooked. Stir in the cream, season the sauce to your taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gemelli and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
• Put the gemelli in a warm serving dish. Briefly reheat the shrimp and the tomato sauce, pour over the pasta and toss well. Sprinkle the parsley over the completed dish and serve.
