Shrimp & Pesto Pasta

From EatingWell: March/April 2007, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook — Subscribe Now!

The spring flavors of asparagus and pesto combine beautifully with fettuccine and shrimp in a light and simple pasta dish that works for family or casual entertaining. Make it a meal: Serve with a tomato-and-arugula salad tossed with mustard-balsamic vinaigrette and fruit sorbet for dessert.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I'm not a big shrimp lover but this recipe was delicious. It wasn't drowning in pesto - just enough. The asparagus made it even better! My husband loved it and he's not easy to please. This is a real keeper! J. Principe, NYC "

This has become one of my signature pasta recipes!! My family loves it - it has so many layers of flavor from the fresh pesto and the white wine. Give this one a try - healthy and easy to make. At the end of the summer when basil is readily available, make up a couple batches of pesto and freeze it. That makes this recipe so much quicker and easier to make.	11 weeks 1 day ago
