The other night Colin and I found ourselves randomly watching a show called Restaurant: Impossible in which some famed chef goes in to save failing restaurants. We found ourselves totally sucked in to an episode where the troubled restaurant billed itself as a "spaghetti house" and this was the way that the chef made over their spaghetti. I don't totally get how this is a redone spaghetti recipe, other than the pasta shape, but either way it was super easy and delicious. As far as the actual recipe goes, the chef was just kind of describing what he was doing as he whipped this up, so it's not very specific, but you get the idea.
1/2 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
Spaghetti (I actually used linguine since that's what I had--same diff)
Olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
Pesto (I used store bought, but I'm sure it would be even better with homemade)
White wine
Heavy cream
Tomato, chopped and seeded
Parsley, minced
First brown onions in a large skillet on medium heat, then remove from pan. Add olive oil to skillet and then add shrimp. Cook until shrimp is just turning opaque, then add in onions and about 2 tablespoons of pesto. Deglaze the pan with a little white wine, then add in a splash or two of heavy cream. Toss with cooked pasta and top with tomatoes and parsley.
