Sun-dried tomatoes and curry take center stage in this pasta dish that's loaded with tender shrimp and crunchy asparagus. This is one of my husband's favorites for special occasions, notes Shirley Kunde of Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Guests always enjoy it, too. Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water |
1/2 cup dry-pack sun-dried tomatoes, chopped |
6 ounces uncooked fettuccine |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
2 tablespoons clam juice |
2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, pour boiling water over sun-dried tomatoes; let stand for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside. Cook fettuccine according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, clam juice, apple juice, curry powder and pepper; set aside. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook asparagus in oil for 2 minutes. Add green onions and garlic; cook and stir 1 minute longer.
