A couple of days after eating my outstanding zucchini/goat cheese sandwich, I wanted to make a dinner that would easily include goat cheese… Cory (for some unknown reason?!) does not share my love of goat cheese so I had to make a dish where the goat cheese was optional. I decided on Garlic Shrimp Pasta.
My cooking began with a glass of Chianti wine. For me, a glass of wine makes cooking much more relaxing and enjoyable!
First, I sauteed ~1/2 cup of diced onions and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic in ~2 tablespoons of olive oil until cooked. While the onions and garlic were cooking, I started boiling the water to cook the whole wheat pasta.
Next, I added shrimp with a couple dashes of red pepper flakes. Shrimp cooks very quickly and can become quite rubbery if overcooked! It usually only takes ~3-5 minutes to cook shrimp.
Once the shrimp was cooked, I added a can of diced tomatoes and simmered for about 5 minutes or so… During the simmering, I cooked one zucchini and one squash in a drizzle of olive oil plus pepper in my Wok.
Lastly, I combined the shrimp and sauce with the pasta… quick, easy, and tasty!
Of course, I added a dollop of goat cheese to my plate.
Halloween is right around the corner! I have a cat costume I may wear… which is pretty funny because Cory hates cats. Are you dressing up as anything?
This looks good when are you cooking this for me???????
I’ll cook you some with the goat cheese!
I will try goat cheese, I trying to be more open these days!!!!
