This easy dish is ready to be devoured in just half an hour of cooking time! Enjoy the creamy sauce of this Garlic Shrimp Pasta! You will be so glad that you tried this recipe!

Ingredients:

5 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 c dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc (or substitute low-sodium chicken broth)

1 lb. fresh or frozen raw shrimp, peeled, tails removed (if frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using)

1/2-1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes divided (use less if sensitive to spice; 1 tsp will have a good kick)

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil divided

3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus additional as desired

1 tsp kosher salt, divided

1 tsp black pepper, divided

1 shallot, peeled and diced

Zest and juice of 1 large or 2 small lemons

24 oz of mixed vegetables of your choice, fresh or frozen. If frozen, thaw and drain

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, plus additional as desired

8 oz. whole-wheat linguine or similar thin pasta noodles

Directions:

Refer to the directions provided on the package of the noodles on how to cook them. Drain and put them back into the pot.

Make sure to set aside 1/4 cup of the pasta water for later use.

Use paper towels to pat dry the washed shrimp.

Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add olive oil and allow it to become hot. Add shallot and sauté for about 2 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute or just until aromatic.

Add the shrimp, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 red pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir and cook for about 3 minutes, then move them to a clean plate.

In the same empty skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and allow it to become hot. Add the veggies, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp red pepper, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes.

Add the wine and deglaze the skillet by scraping the sides and bottom. Simmer for a few minutes to remove the alcohol contents.

Add the shrimp back into the skillet with the sauce, then toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add lemon juice and lemon zest, then stir to combine.

Add the cooked pasta, then toss to coat. Add the reserved pasta water if needed. Remove from the heat.

60 grams of soft goat cheese – use a vegetarian version if required

50 grams of fresh baby spinach

3 tablespoons plain – (all-purpose) flour (replace with gluten-free flour blend if needed)

1 teaspoon paprika

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c finely shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1 1/2 c finely shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 c long-grain white rice (uncooked)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 (15 oz.) can of tomato sauce
  • 1 medium head of green cabbage, chopped
  • 1-pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (14.5 oz.) can of low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.

Apply cooking spray to the inside of a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add the ground beef, then cook for a few minutes until crumbly and brown.

Add the onion, then sauté for a few more minutes until soft. Add the garlic and saute for about a minute or just until aromatic. Remove any accumulated grease.

Add the rice, tomato sauce, beef broth, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, and cayenne. Stir everything until well blended.

Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.

Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and allow it to become hot.

Add the cabbage slices into the hot skillet, then cook for about 5 minutes or until soft. Transfer them into the prepared casserole dish and spread them evenly to the bottom.

Add half of the ground beef mixture over the cabbage followed by 1/2 of the cheese mixture.

In the same empty skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and allow it to become hot. Add the rest of the cabbage and cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Transfer it to the casserole dish on top of the cheese layer.

Add the rest of the beef mixture on top, followed by the rest of the cheese. Cover it with foil.

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes.

Remove the foil cover and bake for 20 more minutes or until the cheese turns golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve and enjoy!

I like to serve this with steamed rice.

To shred the cabbage:

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage.

Slice the cabbage into 4 pieces and remove the core. Place them onto a cutting board and begin slicing them thinly.
