I just made this tonight and it was awesome!! Shrimp and Tomato Pasta with Spinach. It was light, low sodium and DELICIOUS! I think the biggest source of salt is the Parmesan. The brand I used only had 70 mg per Tbsp so I think it divided it up nicely between 4 servings. Feel free to salt to taste if you are not on a low sodium diet!

¼ cupParmesan

Instructions

Step 1

Start water for pasta and cook according to package directions. Add pasta and cook while preparing sauce. RESERVE 1 CUP OF PASTA WATER and then drain. Drizzle and toss with olive oil if the sauce isn't done yet. Keep warm.

Step 2

While pasta cooks, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over Med-High heat. When it sizzles if a piece of onion is dropped in, add the onion. Cook about 3 minutes. Add the garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the chopped tomato, white wine, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, pepper and optional red pepper flakes. Cook until tomatoes look a bit soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce heat to Medium and add the shrimp and spinach. Cook 3-5 minutes until shrimp are no longer opaque.

Step 5

If the sauce is too thick, add half of the pasta water and stir to combine. When it's to your liking, add the additional butter and Parmesan. If it gets too thick again, you can always add more pasta water.

Step 6

Toss with prepared pasta and serve with additional Parmesan cheese.
