Pasta Al Fresco

 

 

    This pasta dish is based on one at a local restaurant, Mama Mia's Angel Hair Al Fresco. A great dish with simple ingredients and a lot of flavor. I think it may be the ton of fresh garlic, with the fresh basil and the hint of marinara, but this dish is definitely a new favorite of mine. Pasta Al Fresco.

 

Ingredients:

• Bunch of shrimp
• Olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic sliced thinly
• Handful diced fresh basil
• Handful fresh spinach
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1 tbs fresh marinara

1. Cook pasta according to package.

 

2.In a large saute pan drizzle some olive oil and saute the shrimp on both sides just until pink. Remove and sit aside.

 

3. In same pan drizzle some more olive oil. Take sliced slivers of garlic and saute on low until just starting to brown.

 

4. Pour in white wine and reduce.

 

5. Stir in the marinara and mix well.
