ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SHRIMP

Category: Pasta - Seafood

1 1/2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cream
1 1/2 tbsp pesto sauce
1 1/2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp parmesan cheese; grated
1/2 tsp salt, pepper and hot sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2/3 lb Capellini
1/2 red pepper; cut in strips
1/4 lb snow peas; trimmed
1 lb jumbo shrimp

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, stir in flour and cook for a few minutes until golden. Add milk and cream, bring to a gentle simmer and continue to stir until thickened. Add pesto, parsley, garlic, parmesan, salt, pepper, Worcestershire and hot sauce, and stir until blended. Reduce heat and keep warm, stirring occasionally. Cook pasta quickly in a large pot of boiling water (3 to 4 minutes, or until al dente).

At the same time, poach the pepper, snow peas and shrimp in another pot of boiling water (2 or 3 minutes, or until just heated through).

Drain the pasta, mix it with the sauce and portion it into heated individual serving bowls. Garnish each portion with shrimp and vegetables, and serve immediately. Serves: 4
