Ingredients

  • 2 oz cooked fettuccine whole-wheat or gluten-free
  • 4 spears asparagus trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
  • cup red peppers sliced jarred roasted
  • 1 tbsp pesto or our pesto recipe
  • ½ tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ lb shrimp raw, 21-25 per pound, peeled and deveined (omit for vegetarian)
  • ¼ cup white wine dry
  • black pepper ground, to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook for 3 minutes less than the package directions. Add asparagus and continue cooking until the pasta and asparagus are just tender, about 2 minutes more. Reserving 1/4 of the cooking water, drain the fettuccine and asparagus and return to the pot. Stir in the peppers and pesto. Cover to keep warm.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, about 1 minute. Add wine and continue to cook until shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pasta, too to coat, and add the reserved cooking water to desired consistency. Season with pepper and serve immediately.
