Ingredients

Kosher salt

1 pound linguine

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Two 12-ounce bags cherry tomatoes, stemmed and halved

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

3 large cloves garlic, flattened and chopped

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 pound asparagus, trimmed, stalks cut on a diagonal into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

1/2 cup chopped fresh mint

2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl. 
  2. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the wine and asparagus. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. 
  3. Sprinkle the shrimp with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan and continue to simmer until the shrimp is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the basil, mint and oregano. 
  4. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

I opted to use a jar of mushrooms instead of tomatoes. And dished it over couscous instead of linguine. Not our usual meal but I had shrimp and asparagus to use up. It was good.<br />
