Although this dish contains healthful veggies like asparagus and zucchini and a low fat protein (shrimp), the addition of cream increases the fat content.
Sometimes all it takes is a different shape of pasta to breathe new life into ordinary ingredients. In this recipe, wide pappardelle noodles are broken into irregular, fork-friendly pieces before cooking. Once drained, they are tossed with a colorful stir-fry of large shrimp, thinly sliced zucchini, and tender young asparagus; then moistened with a light cream sauce enlivened with fresh jalapeño and garlic. A final scattering of chives brings an additional element of freshness. All the ingredients are easily found at most supermarkets, and this rather impressive dinner comes together in 30 minutes or less.
