Garlic Shrimp and Mushroom Pasta

Garlic Shrimp and Mushroom Pasta

This dish is light and garlicky, so it pairs beautifully with a crisp arugula salad, garlic bread or a simple roasted veggie like asparagus or zucchini. Want to go all authentic Italian trattoria? Start the meal with a small antipasto plate or finish it with a lemony dessert like a sorbet or panna cotta. And don’t forget the wine—a crisp white like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc will always do the trick.
