Good Food To Eat

I have a few medical doc friends. They haven't much advice to offer regarding food, politics or religion due to their tight schedule, but funny thing, they have time to comment on others' emails abt all those especially alternative medicine..! Don't tell them a drug is dangerous when taken accessively for example coz they'll give their piece of mind there and then as if they know all..! I don't mind taking their advice if they sound humble and not forcing their views on others.

Anyway, lets see the healthy menu today for you!

Shrimp and Penne Pasta Salad with Pesto, Bocconcini and Cherry Tomatoes

It is the fresh ingredients that makes this simple dish so good. This is a classic combination of tomatoes, basil and fresh mozarella cheese ... almost reminds me of the Margherita :)

For the dressing:

* 1/3 cup olive oil
* 1 1/2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
* 1 clove garlic
* 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh basil
* 1 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

Rest of the ingredients:

* 13 oz penne pasta
* 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
* 1 lb small cooked shrimp
* 3 1/2 oz bocconcini, thinly sliced
* 4 oz cherry tomatoes, halved

1. For the pesto dressing, process all the ingredients together in a food processor unitl smooth.
2. Cook pasta in a large pan of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well, return to pan and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil. Let it cool.
3. Peel and clean the shrimp. Heat a medium skillet, add in remaining olive oil. Toss in the shrimp and the wine. Cook the shrimp until it turns opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Place the pasta, shrimp, bocconcini and tomatoes in a large serving bowl and pour in the dressing. Toss together well and garnish with basil leaves to serve.
