Hi Loralee,
I have a recipe for ur blog...
Pasta with heart shaped tomato (and seafood)
(serves 2 or 3 with leftovers- to feed more, multiply accordingly)
4-8 cloves of garlic (to taste!)
About 4-8 Tbsp yummy olive oil (c'mon)
Chili powder or chili "snaps", as you like it
Salt
1/4 onion (red), finely sliced
1/2 red or yellow bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
1- 1 1/2 cups thawed frozen shrimps and/or scallops (we like a combo) or sub*
1 chopped heart-shaped tomato (or other tomato)~~
1/2 cup finely chopped herbs- parsley/basil/chives/oregano/ or whatever!!!
Pasta
(Freshly ground) black pepper
Put on water to boil pasta
Finely chop garlic, place in skillet or sauté pan with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and as much chili powder as YOU like. Sauté gently on low heat til garlic is goldish.
Chop onion, bell pepper. Add to golden garlic and continue to gently sauté.
Chop tomato and herbs.
Add thawed seafood* and tomato to garlic pan... Reduce heat and cover.
Cook pasta. We like whole wheat spaghetti, but you can decide!
As pasta cooks, watch sauce and turn off and cover when seafood is lightly cooked.
When pasta is down, drain in colander, turn into pan with sauce, add herbs, lots of black pepper, and toss gently and thoroughly. Serve with Parmesan (freshly grated or otherwise, and pepper as desired).
Extra fun- lift pasta and sauce bits out with two wooden spoons and swirl it on plate, pour a bit of sauce over and
* we like frozen tiny shrimps and tiny scallops, thawed under water, but you could use chopped lightly thawed white fish like cod or tilapia for another seafood option, or, no fish at all!! Or, about a cup/can of cooked, drained chickpeas or lima beans, for another protein option....
Heart-shaped tomatoes and basil are currently growing in the Boulevarden!
