SHRIMP AND PENNE PRIMAVERA
Pasta's reputation - restored! With the bad press that pasta's been getting in these carb-phobic times, you may have given it up entirely. The truth is, pasta is only a problem when the noodles make the meal. The trick is rounding it out with healthy add-ins. Here, Whole Foods Markets' executive chef Steven Petsevsky has tossed in a day's supply of vegetables; they supply lots of vitamin C and good-for-you phytochemicals - plus fiber. Shrimp adds a kick of protein, and a handful of fresh herbs makes all the flavors sparkle. Self's testers' verdict: yum.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, soak sun-dried tomatoes in hot water 20 minutes to soften.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your shrimp primavera the best flavor. If possible, buy organic produce.
- Cook the Shrimp Properly: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is pink and opaque.
- Don't Skimp on the Sauce: The sauce is what really brings the shrimp primavera together. Make sure you use a flavorful sauce that you enjoy.
- Serve Immediately: Shrimp primavera is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.

With its vibrant colors and fresh flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give shrimp primavera a try.
