This is dedicated to the Beverage Gang as they have inspired me to use more spirits in my cooking. I like that I have to sample the spirits to make sure they are just right for the cooking. :-) Ingredients:
1/2 lb fusilli (any kind with texture) or 1/2 lb spiral shaped pasta (any kind with texture) |
1/2 lb asparagus (cut into 2 in pieces) |
1/2 lb shrimp (i used medium size, cooked) |
1 cup white wine (i used a shiraz) |
2 -3 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
8 ounces diced tomatoes and green chilies |
1 onion, large sliced thick |
2 stalks celery, diced |
1 teaspoon basil |
4 garlic cloves, diced |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
