Looks Delicious! Linguine with Seafood, Fresh Fennel and Tomatoes

Posted by in Looks Delicious!

Tasty Kitchen Blog: Looks Delicious! (Linguine with Seafood, Fresh Fennel and Tomatoes, submitted by TK member Erica of Apricosa)

 
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! See her blog Apricosa for more of her yummy recipes!

I made this about a month ago when we thought our fennel was ready…well…apparently I don’t know what i’m doing when it comes to fresh fennel…and wasn’t smart enough to just use the basil. I might give it another try but it was okay. I think I definately did something wrong because I have yet to find a recipe here that isn’t delicious.

Not a fan of fennel? I switched off and hit it out of the ballpark last night with basil because it is taking over my herb garden. Yum-yum!

It just looks like a plate full of summer…having trouble letting it go, I guess…I’m pathetic! ;} Simply scrummy creation!

My very most favorite! Shrimp, Pasta! I’m not a liker of licorice (black licorice that is. Love red licorice! Not Twizzlers) which I’ve been told fennel tastes like. But this looks lushious (is that a word?). I will be trying this out this coming weekend when my husband comes back into town. He is my offical Taste Test GuinneaPig. Thanks for the recipe.

Mmmmm…. looks so delish!

A zen-balance of textures and easy on the eyes too!

If I can rant for a sec, I’m glad to see linguine being used here and not angel hair pasta. So many restaurants use it (probably ‘cuz it cooks fast) and it ruins the entire dish, as the stuff is invariably over-done. One of the biggest reasons that I shy away from pasta when eating out.

This however, looks fantastic. I’ll have seconds, please.
