Bow Tie Pasta With Shrimp, Baby Zuchinni, Cherry Tomatoes And Basil

• 1/2 cup good olive oil, plus extra for the pasta pot - or a mixture of butter and olive oil
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 T lemon juice
• 2 pints small cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes whole
• 1 pint baby zuchinni chopped into small cubes/half moons
• 24 large basil leaves, julienned
• 4 tablespoons chopped fresh curly parsley
• 4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 LBS Shrimp
• 1.5 to 2 pounds dried bow tie pasta

1. 1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt (1 T) and a splash of oil to the pot.
2. 2 Heat 4 T butter or equivalent amount of olive oil in a pan until melted and bubbling. Add the garlic to the butter and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and saute until pink and then remove to a bowl. Add 2-4 T of olive oil to the pan and then add the tomatoes, zucchini, basil, parsley, thyme, two teaspoons salt, the pepper, and red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for five to seven minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften but don't break up. Remove from heat.
3. You may stop the process here and finish when you are 15 minutes out from dinner.
4. 3 When ready, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook according to the directions on the package. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water.
5. 4 Return the sauce to the heat, and when warmed add the shrimp with a splash of lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
6. 5 Place the pasta in a large serving bowl, add the shrimp and vegetable sauce and mix well. Add some of the pasta water if the pasta seems too dry. Serve with a green salad.
