Ingredients

• 12 oz bow tie pasta
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, zest and juice
• 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the cherry tomatoes and asparagus on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and toss to coat. Spread into an even layer.

Step 3

Roast the vegetables in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and the asparagus is tender. Remove from oven and set aside.

Step 4

While the vegetables are roasting, cook the bow tie pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta, roasted vegetables, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce lightly coats the pasta.

Step 8

Remove from heat, then stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and grated parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and additional parmesan cheese, if desired.
