Shrimp Pasta Tomato Recipe: Ingredients

This dish incorporates a lot of classic Italian ingredients to give it that terrific (and healthy) Mediterranean flavor. To make this dish, you will need the following:

- ¼ pound of dry fettuccine

- ¼ onion (sweet and cut into wedges)

- 2 large, chopped tomatoes

- 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons of fresh chopped basil

- ½ cup of baby spinach leaves

- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

- 1 ¾ cloves of garlic

- 2/3 pounds of cooked shrimp

- ¼ pound of Italian four cheese

- 1 teaspoon of oregano

- 1 teaspoon of basil

To really get the ingredients ready, you will first have to cook the shrimp and take the veins out of them. You can broil them or saute them for the best taste. Once you have the ingredients together, you can then start to prepare the dish itself. These ingredients will make two servings.

Shrimp Pasta Tomato Recipe: Preparation

Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil (add a dash of salt for taste). Cook the fettuccine for about 9 minutes (or until tender). Drain and set aside. Then, take the garlic, onion, oregano, and basil, and chop them together with a food processor into fine pieces. Then, take a skillet and simmer the olive oil over medium heat and put in the mixture you just chopped. When it turns a nice golden brown color, then it will be ready for the next step. Toss in the tomatoes, add a touch of salt (and pepper if you wish), and simmer this mixture for 4-6 minutes. Then, include the spinach and stir. When it begins to soften and wilt, you can stir the shrimp into the mixture. You will need to cook the entire mixture until it is thoroughly warm. Remove, place it with the pasta, include a couple of handfuls of Italian four cheese, and toss. Serve with a fresh loaf of Italian bread for a great side item.

I hope this shrimp pasta tomato recipe brings a great flavor and terrific meal to your kitchen table. Now all you need is a good dinner companion and you are good to go. Enjoy!
