Tuscan Pasta
Pasta, Pasta This wonderful Tuscan Pasta dish combines the flavors of shrimp with spinach. A great combination and another great dish for Springtime. Off course I use shrimp for this recipe because I love shrimp, but you can use scallops, chicken or sausage if you prefer.
I also use farfalle pasta for this recipe because I like the texture combined with the shrimp. Of course you can use whatever you prefer. A linguine will also work well with this dish.
Pine nuts are used in a lot of Italian dishes. Toasting the nuts always bring out more flavor. You can also us slivered almond instead. Either one will give the dish a rustic finish and enhance the flavor of the shrimp and pasta. INGREDIENTS
