Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
12 ounces fusilli pasta
3 cups (packed) fresh arugula, torn in 1/2

Directions

Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and white wine and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the wine reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook just until they are pink, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the fusilli in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Drain the fusilli. Add the fusilli and arugula to the skillet. Toss to combine. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl and serve.

A Solid Pasta Dish
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Ok, not her best pasta dish, but still good. To me it is just average. But I think this would be a good, semi-fancy weeknight... meal. The flavors are all their it just wasn't executed quite right to me. Maybe add some lemon juice or something. But don't worry, I still love you Giada!Read more

Pretty "blah"
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This recipe sounded like it would be great, but it left a lot to be desired. As is, the recipe requires a lot of... improvisation, otherwise you're left with a pretty bland result. Read more

Good recipe, a little too lemony
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe many times and have found that I need to cut the lemon by 1/3., otherwise it's too tart. I have also... begun adding about 1/3 cup of heavy cream and about 2 Tbls of butter. It helps balance the lemon flavor with a bit of creaminess. I like the overall blend of flavors though.Read more

Easy, fast and tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The local farmer's market had fresh arugula so I went looking for an appropriate pasta recipe. Thanks Giada, you came... through for me again. This dish was delicious. I made two additions: the juice of 1/2 a lemon and diced fresh tomatoes. Yum!Read more
