INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp (cooked)
50 g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil Leaves
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cherry tomatoes with a tiny drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.
Add the roasted tomatoes to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a light, cohesive sauce.
Finish off the dish by stirring in the fresh basil leaves, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced dinner.
