My mother used to make this exact dish all the time in my house. We loved it so much. After years and years of searching I finally found it here! Now my children love it. Thank you so much.

I forgot to leave my favorite go-to recipe. It may seem quite similar as it includes bow-tie pasta, as well. When the pasta is nearly al dente, I toss in some broccoli florets and simmer on until bright green and still a bit on the crisp side. Meanwhile, in a bit of olive oil and/or butter, I saute some finely minced onion and garlic…a bit of lemon zest (or not), and then add some peeled raw shrimp. When they have turned pink, I add some lemon juice and a bit more butter probably, depending on my fat tolerance for the day. Dump in the drained pasta and broccoli. Toss through the sauteed mixture. Garnish with some grated Parmesan…and lemon zest maybe. Serve! Yummo!

As you can see, this isn’t quite a recipe…and instead is more method. I like tossing the vegetable in with the pasta – saves a pan! I drain it right over the pan of water, too…no colander to wash. This is my 15 minutes meal.

This recipe inspired me last night when I had some leftover roasted chicken…I didn’t have any olive, so I added some artichoke hearts and capers. Big hit at my house! Thanks for the inspiration!

I just found your blog tonight and am really enjoying it. Your interests are similar to mine. I enjoy cooking and reading, and I’m a wanna-be gardener with a 1/2 acre of crummy clay soil. I’m wondering — did you use a pattern for your aprons and if so, which one?
