Creating One Pot Shrimp Pasta Primavera is easier than you might think! Follow these straightforward steps to achieve the perfect dish:
- Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering and prepping all your ingredients. Chop the vegetables and mince the garlic.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed seasonal vegetables, and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
- Season: Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes (if using) and Italian seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add Broth and Pasta: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and then add the spaghetti or linguine directly into the pot. Stir well to ensure that the pasta is submerged in the broth.
- Cook Pasta: Cover the pot and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Add Shrimp: Carefully fold the shrimp into the pasta mixture, ensuring they’re evenly distributed. Cover and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
- Finish with Cheese: Once the shrimp are ready, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Garnish: For an elegant touch, sprinkle fresh basil on top for added flavor and color.
- Serve: Ladle the One Pot Shrimp Pasta Primavera into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy your meal!
