Penne with Shrimp, Asparagus, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
(Penne con Gamberetti, Asparagi, Pomodori Essiccati)
 
 
Ingredients:
 
1/2 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (about 2 and 1/2 ounces), sliced, 2 tablespoons oil reserved
1 lb asparagus, trimmed, cut on diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces
1 and 1/4 lbs uncooked shrimp, peeled, deveined
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 and 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
12 ounces Penne pasta
3/4 cup grated Parmigiano cheese
 
Directions:
 
Heat oil reserved from tomatoes in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.

Using slotted spoon, transfer asparagus to bowl.

Add sun-dried tomatoes, shrimp, 1/4 cup basil, garlic, oregano, and crushed red pepper to same skillet and saute until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 3 minutes.

Transfer shrimp mixture to bowl with asparagus.

Add broth, wine, and tomato paste to same skillet.

Boil until sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.

Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until 'al dente'.

Drain; return pasta to same pot.
 
Add shrimp mixture, sauce, remaining 1/4 cup basil, and cheese to pasta.

Toss over medium heat until warmed through and sauce coats pasta.
