Time 35m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb shrimp
1/4 lemon
white wine
14 ounces chicken broth
14 ounces diced tomatoes, with juice
2 cups broccoli florets
3/4 lb whole wheat pasta
olive oil
red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Put shrimp in bowl with a splash of white wine, fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Marinate for as long as possible.
  • Cook pasta, when pasta has 2 min left of cooking, add broccoli to boiling pasta.
  • Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add broth, tomatoes, salt, pepper, Italian seasonings and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, cook shrimp in separate skillet, reserving marinade. When shrimp are cooked take off heat and place in bowl. Put remaining marinade in same skillet and cook to boiling, add a splash of wine and add to broth/tomato mixture.
  • When pasta is cooked toss shrimp, pasta, broccoli with tomato broth sauce. Top with parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your pasta dish the best flavor. If you can, use vegetables that are in season.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make shrimp pasta. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or experiment with different sauces.
