On Sunday's, I'm not usually enthusiastic about testing recipes even though I often must test anyway. Yesterday, I found a large container of bow tie pasta from a previous testing earlier in the week, looming in the refrigerator! What do to? Shrimp is always an easy protein and the cleaned variety was on sale for $7.99 a pound. These two facts convinced me that I could make a good meal by combining "forces." Along the way, I found some asparagus lingering that needed immediate attention. What a deal!
I sauteed the shrimp in olive oil and added some crushed red pepper along with the asparagus (stems cut on the diagonal). This was the topping for the already cooked bow tie pasta tossed with pesto and grape tomaotes. It made a pretty plate and had a great flavor. It was a happy ending. (I could have garnised the plate with fresly grated parmesan. Next time.)
