Follow The Directions

01

Step

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, occasionally stirring until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and return spaghetti to the pot.

02

Step

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir spinach, zucchini, squash, pine nuts, and garlic in hot oil until vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl.

03

Step

Heat another tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shrimp and 2 teaspoons lemon juice until shrimp are bright pink and centers are opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

04

Step

Combine remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, parsley, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

05

Step

Stir vegetable mixture, shrimp, and olive oil mixture into spaghetti until combined.

For an extra layer of flavor, toast the pine nuts in a dry pan until golden before adding them to the dish.
Don't overcook the shrimp! They should be just cooked through to remain tender.
A squeeze of extra lemon juice at the end brightens the whole dish.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms.

    I substituted the zucchini and squash with bell peppers since that's what I had, and it was still amazing.

    I doubled the garlic because we love garlic, and it was perfect.
