Shrimp Pasta Primavera




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1/2 lb frozen pre-cooked shrimp
2 cups mixed chopped veggies—your choice (good choices include red peppers, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, broccoli, garlic)
1 cup cleaned chopped spinach
1 jar unsweetened spaghetti sauce (your choice of flavor)
8 oz whole wheat spiral pasta
some freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)


Recipe



Fill a large sauce pan with water and bring to boil. Add pasta and cook according to package.

Thaw shrimp in cool water, and pinch off their tails.

Chop the veggies and saute in a little olive oil until tender-crisp.

Add the spinach, spaghetti sauce, and shrimp to the veggies and warm until spinach wilts.

Drain pasta and combine with sauce/veggie/shrimp mix. Top with cheese, if desired.

Vary the vegetables… substitute leftover chicken or beans or good chicken sausage for the shrimp. There are endless ways you can re-invent this dish, but they can all be made in about ten minutes.

Some brands of whole grain pasta are gummy. In our experience, Hodgson Mills’ spiral pasta is a great choice for starting your family on whole-grain pasta. It’s never gummy, and cooks up to a fairly light, attractive color.
