Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes or until caramelized.
Cooking
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta but reserve a cup of pasta water.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then add the shrimp and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper.
Assembly
- In a food processor, combine the fresh dill, half of the grated Parmesan, and a splash of olive oil. Blend until smooth, adjusting with pasta water if too thick.
- Add drained pasta to the skillet with shrimp, stir in the dill pesto and roasted tomatoes. Use reserved pasta water to loosen if necessary.
- Turn off heat and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
Notes
Consider substitutions like whole wheat or gluten-free pasta, or chicken and tofu for variations. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
