Good morning. It was actually 86 here yesterday. Hot! Just the way I love it. Please let it stay like this. Warm California sunshine, nothing like it.
Today I have a dish that I served up on the spur of the moment on Friday, last. It turned out to be quite tasty. So I am adding it to my collection of tasty meals. A lot of my recipes come just that way, thinking about what I can make for dinner, checking the refrigerator and the pantry and putting something together. So here is today's recipe. Hope you will try it and like as much as we did.
PENNE WITH MASCARPONE, SHRIMP AND BASIL
Serves 4
1 lb of Penne
2 tablespoons Mascarpone Cheese
Marinara sauce, about 2 cups
20 Shrimp raw, peeled and deveined
Chopped fresh Basil
Cook the pasta just until al dente (always). In a skillet heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, add the shrimp and saute just until done. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Heat the Marinara sauce, add the Mascarpone cheese (that is at room temperature). Drain the pasta and quickly add the marinara sauce and the shrimp and toss to coat all. Top with chopped fresh basil.
As always, serve with a salad, crispy hot bread and a glass of chilled White Wine.
This dish is light on the sauce and won't leave you feeling too full. Easy and quick. Good enough for company!
Thanks for stopping in today
Ciao
Grayce
