03 Method

Step 1

Heat a large pot of salted water (4 quarts of water, 2 tablespoons salt) on high heat until boiling.
Step 2

Add the pasta. Cook uncovered on high heat with a vigorous boil until al dente (cooked but still a little firm), about 10 minutes or whatever your pasta package says is appropriate for al dente.
Step 3

Once the pasta is done, and before draining the pasta, scoop out one cup of the pasta cooking liquid and reserve. Drain the pasta.
Step 4

Toss the pasta with the pesto and keep it warm.
Step 5

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until the shrimp is pink but not quite cooked through.
Step 6

Add the peas and artichokes, lower the heat to medium, cover and cook for an additional minute.
Step 7

Add the green onions and parsley, reduce the heat to low. Add the pasta and about a third of a cup of the reserved cooking water.
Step 8

Toss to coat evenly. Add more cooking water if the pasta is still a little too dry.Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
