saucy minx

Course: Main Course

Ingredients

  • .5 jar marinara sauce (you can use a full jar; I kept this to a minimum since I’m allergic to tomatoes)
  • .25 bag whole wheat pasta
  • 1 lb shrimp (15-18 count; ask the seafood counter to peel and devein for you)
  • 1 zucchini
  • .25 onion
  • EVOO

Hollyized Steps:

  • Start boiling your water for the pasta so everything will be ready at the same time.
  • Slice the zucchini into thin slices and then into fourths; finely chop the onion.
  • Then add some EVOO (about 3-4 tablespoons) to a large pan on medium heat. Add the veggies and shrimp to the pan and stir to lightly coat with the EVOO.
  • Once the water in your large pot is boiling add the pasta and set a time for eight minutes. Then add the sauce to your pan with the shrimp and veggies. Coat everything with the pasta sauce and cover on medium heat. Be sure to stir after four minutes so that the shrimp cooks evenly.
  • Once the timer goes off, drain the pasta and remove the pot from the heat. Make sure the shrimp are fully cooked in the pan. Once they are, transfer the sauce from the pan into the pot. Then mix in the pasta al dente.
  • Serve into a bowl and you are DONE!!! (Feel like an A+ student now?!) Big kids can enjoy this with a glass of chardonnay and finish off with a salad.
