Creamy Garlic Pasta with Shrimp & Vegetables
Ingredients
The creamy sauce for this pasta is based on plain yogurt, giving it a tangy that pairs perfectly with garlic and lemon juice for a robust sauce that perfectly complements asparagus and red peppers. If you don't love dealing with shrimp, replace it with your favorite Guiding Stars-earning fish, such as tilapia or catfish.Tip: To toast pine nuts, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until fragrant (2-4 minutes).
