1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup olive oil
4 -6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced (may use 1/3 amount dried)
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted sweet red peppers, drained and sliced
1 cup pitted kalamata olive, chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine

1 lemon
16 ounces spaghettini or 16 ounces penne pasta, cooked until al dente
extra virgin olive oil (as needed) (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel shrimp and devein; keep chilled until needed.
  • Chop sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces; place in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water; allow to rest until softened, 15-30 minutes.
  • Cook pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes, or according to package directions; start to prepare vegetables and shrimp just as pasta cooks.
  • Drain softened sun-dried tomatoes from water and reserve the soaking liquid (you may need this later).

  • Add the shrimp and the feta to the pan, and cook over moderate heat until the shrimp curl and turn pink, several minutes.
  • Sprinkle the dish with parsley and add the juice of the lemon, being careful not to add the seeds.
  • Fold in the cooked pasta, tossing to mix, until everything is evenly blended.
  • Add some of the reserved cooking liquid from the sun-dried tomatoes if the pasta seems too dry, use your own judgement as to how much you like to add.
  • Serve hot, with other foods if desired.

MEDITERRANEAN FETTUCCINE WITH SHRIMP AND SPINACH



Mediterranean Fettuccine With Shrimp and Spinach image

I got this off the back of some store-brand fettucine noodles and gave it a try. Dh said to make sure I kept the recipe! It is very rich and I usually decrease the salt and dried basil to help that a bit, and I thinned it down just a bit with milk, but otherwise it's a fancy-looking dish with very little effort.
