It's hard to believe that it's already JUNE and summer will {officially} be here in a matter of days! Our weather here doesn't reflect the calendar. In fact, I'm quite convinced that Mother Nature is having some sever mood swings! In the past few weeks we gone from 90 degree to 40 degrees in a matter of a day and then back into the high 70s. This doesn't include the heavy rains and snow ~ yep, it snowed here in May! I have both my summer and winter clothes out as I never know which season it will be when I get dressed for school in the morning!
I threw this together one night for dinner when we had a very full schedule and not a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.
Ingredients~
Pasta of choice
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 Cloves garlic
1 lb shrimp 1 healthy cup of fresh peas {I found them at Trader Joes}
Juice of one lemon
1/2 of white wine ... a glass for yourself :)
1 cup (or more) cherry tomatoes cut in half
Fresh basil lightly chopped {use as much or as little as you like}
Parmesan cheese
How to ~
Boil pasta according to box
In a saute pan add olive oil and garlic ~ saute until golden
Add the shrimp ~ cook until light pink
Add in the fresh spring peas
Pour in the lemon juice and wine
Toss in the cherry tomatoes and basil
Combine the pasta with the rest of the ingredients
Sprinkle on the grated cheese
Serve
You could easily replace the shrimp with chicken or scallops.
The count down is in full swing ... only 10 more days of school!!!
