Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shrimp and Pea Broken Lasagna.
Step 1
To start your delicious lasagna noodle dish, grab a large pot and bring 12 cups of salted water to a lively boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, toss in the broken lasagna noodles and let them cook for about 12 minutes.
Step 3
In the final 2 minutes of cooking, add in the shrimp and frozen peas for a burst of flavor and color.
Step 4
After everything is cooked to perfection, drain the pasta mixture, but don’t forget to save 1/2 cup of that flavorful cooking water.
Step 5
Return the pasta and shrimp mixture back to the pot, ready for the next steps.
Step 6
While your pasta is cooking, heat a splash of olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Add the chopped onion and bell peppers, stirring often until they soften up beautifully, which should take around 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 8
Then, stir in the chopped garlic and let it cook for just another minute, stirring constantly to release that wonderful aroma.
Step 9
Now it’s time to bring everything together! Combine the sautéed onion and pepper mixture with the pasta, along with some basil pesto, kosher salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Step 10
Give it a good stir to ensure everything is well mixed.
Step 11
Cook this delightful combination over low heat, adding the reserved cooking water a little at a time—about 1/4 cup at a go—until you reach your desired consistency and everything is heated through.
Step 12
When you’re ready to serve, dish it out and don’t forget to sprinkle some shaved Parmesan cheese on top for that extra touch of indulgence.
Step 13
Enjoy your meal, and savor the delightful blend of flavors in every bite!.
