Ingredients
-
Broccoli - 1/2 stalk
Shrimp - 10 large shrimps
Barilla Whole Wheat Penne Pasta, 2 oz
Pesto Sauce - 1/4 cup
Tips
You can substitute shrimp for chicken breast.
Directions
In a zip-lock bag, marinade the shrimp in the pesto sauce. You can do this the night before.
Heat a small pot with water and cover. Bring to a boil then add the penne and cook until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, add the oil to a hot pan. Add the broccoli and stir fry for about a minute. Then add 1/4 cup of water and cover - allowing the broccoli to cook. Takes about 2-3 minutes.
Uncover then add the shrimp along with remaining marinade. Combine all the ingredients to allow broccoli to catch the pesto sauce.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain (reserving about 1/4 cup of the pasta water) then add the pasta to the pan. Combine all ingredients, then add the water - it should remove the pesto that gets stuck on the bottom of the pan and should create a nice thick sauce. Allow all the ingredients to capture the pesto flavor and serve.
