Saturday night pasta

Honestly, the day of the week has nothing to do with this recipe. I just wanted a better name than 'Shrimp Linguine,' and I happened to make it on a Saturday night. Lazy naming aside, this dish was also one of the most successful of late. My daughter loves both shrimp and noodles, so she was always a guaranteed slam dunk. My wife, however, isn't as crazy about shrimp, and yet she polished off two big servings. Hooray for Saturday Night Pasta!

Ingredients

15 minutes
4 servings
  1. 3/4 cupextra virgin olive oil
  2. 3garlic cloves, minced
  3. 1 tspdry Italian seasoning
  4. 1/2 tspred pepper flakes
  5. 1/2 tspfennel seeds
  6. 350 gshrimp, peeled and deveined
  7. 450 gdry linguine
  8. 250 gmini San Marzano tomatoes
  9. 1packed cup baby greens (I used kale and spinach)

Cooking Instructions

15 minutes
  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, whisk the olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, fennel seeds, and pepper flakes with a good pinch of salt. Stir in the shrimp, then put the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.

  2. 2

    Drop the noodles into a large pot of boiling salted water. When the noodles are 5 or 6 minutes away from being cooked, move on to cooking the shrimp.

  3. 3

    Add a splash of olive oil to a large pan on high heat. Throw in the tomatoes and sear them for 2 minutes until they're slightly scorched and have given up some of their juice. Pour in the shrimp and marinade and continue frying for about 3 minutes, until the shrimp are just cooked.

  4. 4

    Drag the cooked pasta into the pan of shrimp sauce. Add the baby greens and give everything a toss to coat. When serving, drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil on top.
