Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 lb dried bowtie pasta
½ lb medium shrimp, deveined, peeled with tails left on
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ medium red onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup cherry tomato, halved lengthwise
1 cup broccoli
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 handful baby spinach
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons fresh basil, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente, then drain well.
  • Meanwhile, season the shrimp all over with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and red pepper flakes and sauté until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce the heat to low, add the heavy cream, and bring to a low simmer. Add the tomatoes, broccoli, and red bell pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the spinach and stir until wilted.
  • Stir the Parmesan into the sauce until melted, about 2 minutes, then mix in the lemon juice. Add the shrimp and pasta and toss to coat. Sprinkle in the basil and season with more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the pasta hot, garnished with more basil.
  • Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
½ teaspoon white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup vegetable oil for frying
1 eggplant, thinly sliced
10 ounces tortiglioni (tube-shaped) pasta
2 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
2 tablespoons grated Grana Padano cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and carrot until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour tomatoes into skillet and sprinkle sugar, salt, and black pepper into mixture. Bring to a simmer, turn heat to low, and simmer while you complete remaining steps. Stir occasionally.
