Creamy Tuscan Shrimp with Basil, Artichokes, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sun-dried tomatoes are one of my favorite treats. The sauce for this pasta tastes amazing and is full of flavor. I used shrimp, but chicken could be substituted.
Ingredients:
2 pounds frozen shrimp peeled, deveined, and peeled thawed
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning blend
3 cloves garlic chopped
4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes with oil
14 ounces artichoke hearts
6 ounces fresh basil
2 cups milk, or light cream
2 cups shredded mozzerella
1 cup shredded parmesan
8 ounces chickpea pasta rotini
Directions:
- Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil spray.
- Cook shrimp over medium heat until just beginning to turn pink. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the shrimp. Drain any liquid from the cooked shrimp.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and artichoke hearts to a food processor (with liquid) and pulse to chop.
- Meanwhile cook the pasta according to package directions and drain.
- Add mixture from the food processor to the skillet.
- Add milk and cheese and bring to a simmer. Stir to melt the cheese.
