This lemon shrimp pasta salad is low in calories. Originally meant to be a side dish I made some healthy substitutions and added shrimp. Serve with asparagus, the entire family loves it.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
  • 0.25 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk yogurt, chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl until smooth.

  2. 2

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook penne uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse penne under cold water until slightly cooled.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Toss shrimp with 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a glass baking dish.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

  6. 6

    Toss pasta with dressing in a bowl; stir in shrimp and scallions. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper; garnish with Cheddar and lemon slices.

Chef John's Chocolate Lava Cake

This chocolate lava cake recipe is perfect for chocolate cake lovers! Legend has it that the first chocolate lava cake happened because someone took the cakes out of the oven too soon, and the centers were still gooey. There was no time to bake them more, so the chef simply had to call them chocolate "lava" cakes — brilliant!

Potato Pizza

This recipe was born on a night when I hadn't gone grocery shopping, didn't have any tomato sauce or traditional pizza fixins on hand, but I did have a bag of potatoes that needed using. It has become a staple for us since that night (who doesn't love carbs on carbs!?) and has gone through dozens of iterations (with or without meat or fish, adding caramelized onions or roasted garlic as an extra layer, swapping in different types of cheese or omitting the cheese), all of which have been a hit. Because it's so simple, there are tons of things you can add to the mix and have it taste great, but you truly don't need anything other than the potatoes, herbs, and pizza dough. Anything else is just a bonus!
