How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Shrimp And Snow Peas
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk and ½ cup of heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 3-5 minutes).
- Stir in ½ cup of frozen pesto, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves of minced garlic, ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of Tabasco sauce. Stir until well combined.
- Reduce heat to low and keep warm, stirring occasionally.
- Cook 8 ounces of angel hair pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions.
- While the pasta cooks, blanch 1 cup of snow peas and ½ cup of sliced bell pepper in a separate pot of boiling water for 1-2 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender. Use a handheld strainer for easy transfer from boiling water to ice bath.
- Drain the pasta reserving about ½ cup of pasta water. Add the pasta to the warm sauce, tossing to coat. If needed, add a little pasta water to loosen the sauce.
- Divide the pasta among individual serving bowls. Top each serving with 8 ounces of cooked shrimp and the blanched snow peas and bell pepper.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
