Summer isn’t officially over yet, but it sure feels like it. Kids are back in school and we just came out of the last long holiday weekend of the season. So we thought we’d show you this quick little recipe that you can throw together for dinner tonight. Because, well, maybe most of us enjoyed that weekend barbecue a little too much. Or perhaps we braved those crowds taking advantage of the final back-to-school sales and returned home triumphant but exhausted.

 
Or, now that the kids are out of the house, we might be contemplating an all-day pampering that includes a long bath, a good read, and maybe those chocolate cookies for lunch. (Please tell me I’m not the only one.)

 
Either way, a scrumptious and healthy dinner that comes together in no time is always a welcome option, regardless of how busy you are or how lazy you feel. Which is why we want to show you this quick and easy meal from Tasty Kitchen member Apricosa (Erica), which she adapted from Bon Appetit’s “Fast Easy Fresh” series. As she explains in her blog post, the simplicity of the sauce lets the stars of the dish take center stage.

 
This yummy recipe is absolutely simple. You sauté some aromatics and then braise the seafood in some white wine while the pasta is cooking. Toss in some tomatoes to heat through and then plate everything with some lemon wedges and parsley. Just like that, in less than half an hour, you’ve got a great home-cooked meal on the table and no one has to know about your grueling day of pampering.

 
Thanks again, Erica, for posting this wonderful recipe!
