Fettuccine with Italian shrimp

Add a dollop of pesto to this pasta and toss a few times, and you're ready to dig in to this fragrant one-dish dinner.

Ingredients

  • 250 g fettuccine or spaghetti pasta

  • 2 small or 1 large zucchini

  • 454-g pkg frozen uncooked or cooked shrimp, peeled

  • 1/3 cup pesto

  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan

  • 1/2 to 1 tsp hot-red-chili flakes

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook following package directions until al dente, 8 to 10 min. Meanwhile, slice zucchini into thin bite-size strips.

  • If using frozen shrimp, do not thaw. About 3 min before pasta is cooked, add shrimp and zucchini to boiling pasta. When pasta is cooked and shrimp are bright pink, drain well and turn into a large bowl. Add pesto and Parmesan and sprinkle with seasonings. Stir to mix. Taste and add more pesto or salt if needed. Serve in pasta bowls.
