Spinach Pesto Pasta with Shrimp

Image and recipe courtesy of Cooking Light

Pesto is a great big-batch sauce for using a mix of herbs and greens, but it tends to turn an unappealing army-green if made too far ahead. Quickly blanching spinach and basil is the key to preserving the color without diluting the flavor. Then, you can ramp up the “green” level by adding fresh parsley. A little chopped tomato will add moisture and mild acidity. Be sure to press the plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pesto to keep it from browning. A simple shrimp and asparagus pasta toss allow your pesto to shine! You could also use chicken breast, broccoli florets, or haricots verts for a similarly delicious result.
