Medium-size shrimp are the perfect size for a twirl of spaghetti shot through with ribbons of squash. Have vegetarians at the table? Omit the shrimp, double the tomatoes and serve with a spoonful of part-skim ricotta cheese on top.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
8 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
1 yellow squash
1 zucchini
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tails removed
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions for al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, trim the top and bottom off of each squash. Peel the squash in ribbons into a colander, using a vegetable peeler, turning the squash as you peel. Stop peeling the squash when you only have the center core of seeds left. Discard the core and seeds.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, and then drain the pasta over the squash ribbons. Put in a medium bowl and toss to evenly distribute the pasta with the squash ribbons.
  • Toss the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and some pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, spread into a single layer and cook without stirring, until just turning pink around the edges, about 2 minutes. Stir the shrimp, add the tomatoes, garlic and pepper flakes and continue to cook until the tomatoes have softened and the garlic has toasted, about 1 minute. Add the pasta and squash ribbons, broth and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook, tossing, until warmed through and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add the pasta water a bit at a time, if needed, if the noodles seem dry.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper. Divide among 4 bowls and top with the chives.

You can vary this recipe to your own tastes. I most always add onions to the garlic when frying and skip the minced green onions. I have used baby portobello mushrooms also. I always use fresh garlic! This is hubby's favorite meal.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 green zucchini
3 -4 yellow squash
1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 garlic cloves, divided
2 tablespoons white wine
1/2 a lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons romano cheese, grated
red pepper flakes, to taste
2 tablespoons parsley
1 tablespoon basil
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat dry all zucchini and squash. Remove the ends. Over a large bowl, with a vegetable peeler, peel all zucchini and squash lengthwise into linguini/pappardelle-like strips. Continue to peel until you see seeds. Discard seeded cores of zucchini and squash.
  • Finely mince the garlic cloves. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Once oil is heated, add the "linguini". Sauté for about 1 minute. Add half the minced garlic, generous amounts of salt and pepper, and sauté for 1 more minute, gently stirring/folding with tongs. Remove "linguini" from heat and reserve.
  • To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat. Add the remaining garlic and stir; do not burn garlic. When garlic is lightly toasted, add the shrimp, cooking for only 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the white wine and let simmer for a few seconds.
  • Before shrimp are completely pink, add the red pepper flakes, parsley, basil and lemon juice. Add the "linguini", more salt and pepper and the grated cheese. Toss to combine, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large dish and serve sprinkled with additional grated cheese and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Try to find organic, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the squash. It should be tender, but still slightly firm. Overcooked squash will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will add a rich flavor to your dish. Avoid using vegetable oil or canola oil, as these oils have a neutral flavor and won't add anything to the dish.
  • Season your dish well. Use salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served hot, right out of the pan. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Green and yellow squash linguine with shrimp scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with fresh, healthy ingredients and is packed with flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
