Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or saute pan over medium high heat and add the olive oil, shrimp and garlic; cook, stirring frequently until the shrimp just turns opaque, about 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, and artichokes and keep cooking until the mushrooms are softened, about 3 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toss with pasta and garnish with fresh parsley.
CAPELLINI WITH TOMATOES AND BASIL
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt and a splash of oil to the pot.
- Meanwhile, heat the 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the garlic to the oil and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt, the pepper, and red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften but don't break up.
- While the tomatoes are cooking, add the capellini to the pot of boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, or according to the directions on the package. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water.
- Place the pasta in a large serving bowl, add the tomatoes and Parmesan and toss well. Add some of the pasta water if the pasta seems too dry. Serve large bowls of pasta with extra basil sprinkled on top and a big bowl of extra Parmesan on the side.
LEMON CAPELLINI
Steps:
- Add 2 tablespoons of salt to a large pot of boiling water. Add the capellini and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until just al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat a large (12-inch) saute pan, add the butter, and heat until the butter is melted. Add the zest and juice of the 2 lemons. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and swirl the pan to combine.
- As soon as the pasta is cooked, lift the pasta out of the water with tongs, allowing most but not all of the water to drain back into the pot, and add all the pasta to the sauce. Cook for one minute, adding pasta water to the sauce with a ladle just enough to keep the pasta moist.
- Transfer the pasta to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with more lemon zest, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and squeeze a little lemon juice on top. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add bell peppers, and cook, tossing, until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shrimp, and cook, tossing, until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in salami and pepperoncini; season with salt and pepper.
- Cook pasta until al dente; drain, and return to pot. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pasta in pot; season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Serve pasta topped with shrimp mixture and pan juices.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just pink and opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Use a light touch when stirring the pasta so that it doesn't break.
- Add the shrimp and sauce to the pasta and cook until the shrimp are heated through.
- Serve immediately with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or basil.
