Easy Shrimp, Mushrooms, Peppers and Pasta

Quick and easy meal with pretty much all kitchen staples, except maybe the white truffle infused finishing oil for an extra little hit of umami.  If you don't have it a drizzle of your best olive oil will work too.

Ingredients:

350g shrimp

8 or 9 white mushrooms, sliced

1-2 small bell peppers, sliced

1 cup chopped kale

3 tsps minced garlic

5-6 oz spaghetti 

2 tbsps olive oil + 1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp butter

1/4 - 1/2 cup reserved pasta water 

2 tbsps lemon juice

1/4 cup parmesan 

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Black pepper to taste 

White truffle infused finishing oil

Boil the spaghetti as directed on package.

Heat 2 tbsps olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet to medium. Add mushrooms and peppers and cook 3-4 minutes then add the garlic for 1 minute. Remove to a plate. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to the pan and sauté the shrimp until pink. Add black pepper to taste. Add the kale for 1 minute then return the peppers and mushrooms to the pan. Reserve the pasta water then drain the spaghetti. Toss the pasta in a pot with the reserved pasta water, lemon juice, parmesan and red pepper flakes. Plate the spaghetti and top with shrimp and veggies and finish with a drizzle of truffle oil.
