One-Pot Shrimp and Spinach Pasta
Ingredients:
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 24-ounce jar Barilla pasta sauce
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 box Barilla Pronto Pasta (penne or your preferred shape)
- 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Saute Onion and Garlic:
- In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced white onion and minced garlic. Saute until the onion is tender and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add Sauce and Broth:
- Pour in the Barilla pasta sauce and chicken broth. Stir to combine the ingredients.
- Add Pasta:
- Add the Barilla Pronto Pasta to the skillet. Stir well to ensure that the pasta is coated with the sauce and broth.
- Cook Pasta:
- Cook the pasta on medium heat for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The pasta will absorb most of the broth and become tender.
- Add Spinach and Shrimp:
- Once the pasta is almost tender, add the chopped spinach and cooked shrimp to the skillet. Stir to combine and allow the spinach to wilt and the shrimp to heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season and Serve:
- Taste the dish and season with salt and pepper as needed. Remember that the Parmesan cheese will also add some saltiness.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss to incorporate.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the One-Pot Shrimp and Spinach Pasta in bowls, and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
- This flavorful and easy-to-make pasta dish is a wonderful option for a quick and satisfying meal, especially when entertaining guests. It pairs well with a variety of wines, such as Pinot Noir, as suggested.
Note:
- Feel free to customize this recipe by using your preferred pasta shape and adjusting the ingredients to your taste. You can also add herbs like basil or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
