Zesty Shrimp and Vegetable Protein Pasta
Sautéed shrimp and crisp garden vegetables tossed with protein-rich chickpea pasta in a vibrant, herb-infused tomato sauce.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz shrimp
2 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.5 cup zucchini
0.5 cup red bell pepper
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the shrimp with sea salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then remove the shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sliced zucchini, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour in the tomato puree and add the dried oregano. Simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the fresh spinach and the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently until the spinach is wilted and the pasta is well coated.
Return the shrimp to the pan, toss once more to combine, and garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
