PASTA WITH FRESH HERBS, LEMON AND PEAS



Pasta With Fresh Herbs, Lemon and Peas image

Buy a bunch of parsley along with basil or chives to keep on hand in your refrigerator. The herbs will keep for a week if properly stored. Produce departments often use misters, but greens don't keep well once wet. When you get home, spin the herbs in salad spinner if they're wet, wrap them in a paper towel and then bag them.

HERB AND LEMON SAUCE FOR SHRIMP AND PASTA



Herb and Lemon Sauce for Shrimp and Pasta image

Very yummy and spicy. Lower the amount of oregano and basil to reduce spiciness, and use less red pepper flakes to lower the heat. To ease cooking and prevent burning or overcooking, have all the ingredients chopped and prepared in separate bowls for quick addition to the skillet. I serve this with steamed broccoli and garlic bread.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter
1 large lemon, juice and zest of, grated (need 1/4 cup lemon juice)
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried basil (I generally use 1 slightly teaspoon)
2 teaspoons dried oregano (I generally use 1 teaspoon)
1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 green onions, both white and green portions finely chopped
salt
fresh ground black pepper (lots!)
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3/4 lb pasta (I prefer angel hair in this recipe)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions only until just al dente; drain; set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet (I love making this in my wok!). Add lemon zest, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil and oregano; saute over medium heat 2 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and saute until opaque, about 4 minutes. Note that shrimp should almost be fully cooked at this stage, but not completely, so don't overcook this step or shrimp will be tough.
  • Add parsley, green onions, salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute longer.
  • Stir in lemon juice and cook another minute, then add the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese; toss well and serve immediately.
  • Serve with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, mint, and cilantro add a burst of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It has a fruity, peppery flavor that will complement the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the flavors: This recipe is a starting point, so feel free to adjust the flavors to your liking. If you like a more lemony flavor, add more lemon zest or juice. If you like a more garlicky flavor, add more garlic. And if you like a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Conclusion:

This lemon-lime 3-herb pasta is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
