Farfalle With Shrimp, Zucchini, And Lemon
- 1 1/2 pounds rock shrimp (or peeled and deveined tiger shrimp, split in half from head to tail)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- A pinch of salt and coarse-ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 medium zucchini, halved and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups basic tomato sauce
- 1 pound dried farfalle pasta
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- Put a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta.
- Pat the shrimp with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over high heat. Throw in the shrimp and cook for 2 minute, flipping the shrimp in the pan or stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking. Season with the salt and pepper.
- Add the red pepper flakes, thyme, rosemary, zucchini, and garlic. Saute everything together for about 1 minute, until the zucchini has just started to cook.
- Add the tomato sauce and cook together another 3 minutes or so. At this point, the flavors should be combined, the zucchini should be a bit translucent but still have some crunch to it, and the shrimp should be opaque and should pop between your teeth. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente. (Follow the directions on the box, subtracting 1 minute from the cooking time; be sure to test a couple of pieces in the last 2 minutes of cooking to avoid mushiness.)
- Drain the pasta well and return it to the pot, with the heat off. Add the shrimp and sauce, straight from the saucepan, and combine well.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the pasta, and add the butter and the parsley.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top. Serve immediately.
