​30 Minutes for Prep and Cooking. Serves 2.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. Dalla Terra Pasta Squid Ink and Saffron (mixed together)

• ½ onion, diced

• 1 large garlic clove, minced

• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• ¼ c. dry white wine

• ¼ c. pasta cooking liquid

• 4-6 oz. cooked shrimp

• ¼ c. cream

• Cajun seasoning

• Smoked paprika

• Salt

• Cracked black pepper

• Dried parsley flakes

• Lemon juice

• Parmesan cheese, grated

Cooking Directions:

• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet. Sauté onion for 2 minutes.

• Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

• Add tomato paste and cook 1-2 minutes.

• Add wine and cook 3-4 minutes.

• Meanwhile, cook Dalla Terra Pasta according to instructions on package.

• Add pasta cooking liquid to tomato/wine sauce and bring to a boil.

• Add shrimp and cook, covered, until cooked through.

• Turn heat on low and add ¼ cup cream, cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste (stay lighter on seasonings to allow flavor of the pasta to come out as well).

• Add cooked pasta to the sauce in the skillet and toss to coat.

• Top with parsley flakes, lemon juice, and parmesan cheese. Serve with roasted asparagus. Enjoy!

Variation: Sauté vegetables (bell peppers and zucchini are good) at the same time as the onion. Follow all steps, except omit the shrimp. Pairs with a variety of Dalla Terra Pasta flavors, including Sea Salt, Spinach Garlic, Saffron, Squid Ink, and Hot Red Pepper (for spicier version).
