Pasta prima Vera, any way you want it.

I love pasta prima Vera. It can be a lot of different things. You can add seafood, shrimp especially, or chicken, or whatever.

Ya gotta have the pasta. So start the water with a little bit of salt. When it boils add the pasta stir it and watch it.

3 cloves of garlic chopped
½ med onion chopped or julienne
a little of any other veggie you may like. I.e. broccoli , string beans, red bell peppers, zucchini, etc. etc.
½ - ¾ lbs. peeled and deviened shrimp
olive oil to do the job.
Salt and pepper to taste


In a big frying pan about 3 swirls of olive oil. Med high. Add the veggies. Cook until translucent (isn’t that a neat word?) add the shrimp. When the shrimp is pink on the down side turn them over with a fork of pincher thingy. Cook the other side. The pasta should be done by now. Drain it and put it in with the veggie, shrimp stuff. Toss a few times.

SERVE IT UP!! With some good crusty bread and some white wine!!
