Light Pasta Great For Lunch
Need a quick meal? That's one good thing about so many pasta dishes...they're quick, easy and good. Here's one:
Enough capellini for two (cook according to instructions - set aside in two bowls)
shrimp (boil 2 minutes and set aside)
pine nuts (about two tbsp. dry pan fry for about 1-2 minutes - don't burn)
1 roma tomatoe, finely diced
a few pieces of fire roasted peppers (I used a jar from Trader Joes)
A few pieces of artichoke heart (I used some from a bag you buy at Trader Joes...they're frozen. Thaw them by dropping them in your pasta water - before you add the pasta - and removing them with a slotted spoon)
Olive oil
Heat olive oil, then add tomatoes. Cook 1 minute, then add peppers and artichoke hearts. Add generous amounts of fresh cracked pepper and salt. Cook together 1-2 minutes. Have pasta waiting in bowls and top with mixture, add shrimp and pine nuts to top.
This is a very earthy taste and not spice dependent.
