- 1/2 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut on diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 1/4 pounds uncooked shrimp, peeled, deveined
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 1 3/4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 12 ounces penne pasta (or pasta of choice)
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Heat oil reserved from tomatoes in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and sauté until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer asparagus to bowl. Add sun-dried tomatoes, shrimp, 1/4 cup basil, garlic, oregano, and crushed red pepper to same skillet and sauté until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp mixture to bowl with asparagus. Add broth, wine, and tomato paste to same skillet. Boil until sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.
Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain; return pasta to same pot. Add shrimp mixture, sauce, remaining 1/4 cup basil, and cheese to pasta. Toss over medium heat until warmed through and sauce coats pasta. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Ok…I will get out my trusty pasta roller and make some this weekend. My little boy loves to help me. We get flour on our noses and giggle together.
How fun that will be to have your little boy help … love the giggles!
Amazing and delicious looking as usual.
That looks really rather gorgeous. Beautifully presented. I adore prawns…
Thank you very much – I seem to be eating a lot of shrimp these days!
I never eat them – they’re rather too dear for me to justify eating them. but we have FANTASTIC langostinos when we go to spain – so delicious.

Thank you very much!
Guess what I’ll be having this weekend 🙂
Let me know how you like it! Have a great weekend!
I think that make a nice salad if you added a bit of olive oil and omit the cheese!
Your pastas are all beautiful!
