PAPAREDELLE WITH SHRIMP, ZUCCHINI
AND SWEET PEPPERS
Serves 2
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
3 medium garlic cloves, crushed
2 cups thinly sliced zucchini
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup sliced sweet pimento
1 cup dry white wine
3/4 pound shrimp, peeled
1/4 pound pappardelle
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Place a large pot with 3 to 4 quarts of water on to boil. Heat one tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the garlic and zucchini. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until zucchini is soft. Add the pepper flakes, pimento and wine and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and remove from the heat.
Add the pappardelle to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, about 9 minutes for dried pasta and 3 minutes for fresh. Drain and add pasta to the skillet with shrimp, vegetables and sauce. Place over medium high heat and simmer about 1 minute or until the shrimp are cooked through. Add second tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well. Divide between two plates and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
