A very easy recipe for a comfort-food . We threw this together when we all wanted something for a nosh and we used what we had on hand. This we did at a friend's house, where I had spent the day. Very loosely based on a recipe of Martha Stewart's. Ingredients:
1 lb bow tie pasta (farfalle) |
coarse salt |
fresh coarse ground black pepper |
4 tablespoons butter |
1 onion, diced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 cup sliced white mushroom |
2 cups frozen peas (10 oz) |
1 cup half-and-half |
3/4 lb cooked shrimp |
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (optional) |
grated parmesan cheese, for garnish & serving |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package directions.
2. Drain pasta; return to pot.
3. Meanwhile, heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
4. Add onion & mushrooms; cook, stirring, until light brown, about 10 minutes. Then add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
5. Add peas and half-and-half; season with salt, black pepper & red pepper flakes, if using.
6. Simmer until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
7. Add shrimp to sauce; cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
8. Toss sauce with pasta & a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
9. Serve with grated Parmesan.
10. Enjoy!
