Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

15 garlic cloves, peeled (about 1 head)
1 cup olive oil, plus extra for tomatoes
1 pound cherry tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup packed basil leaves
1 pound linguine
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place garlic cloves in a single layer in a small baking dish. Add 1/2 cup olive oil to cover cloves, cover with foil, and bake 45 minutes, until golden brown and fork-tender. Meanwhile, in another baking dish, toss tomatoes with enough oil to coat. Lightly season with salt and pepper and roast at same temperature until tomatoes blister, about 25 minutes.
  • Strain garlic cloves and set aside in a small bowl, reserving infused oil separately. In a blender, add the roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, Parmesan, and basil. Pulse until combined. While machine is running, drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil until pesto comes together. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Remove to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the linguine and cook until al dente. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the garlic oil. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and saute until the shrimp turn pink and is cooked through.
  • In a large bowl add the linguine and some of the pesto. Toss to coat and top with the shrimp. Garnish with toasted pine nuts and serve.
  • Note: There will be leftover pesto.

The shrimp were a little overcooked for my taste, but the rest of the dish was perfect.

I used a pre-made pesto sauce to save time, and it turned out great. I'm sure it would be even better with homemade pesto.

The roasted garlic adds a delicious depth of flavor to the pesto. I highly recommend using fresh garlic for this recipe.
