Shrimp Marinara with Angel Hair Pasta

David and I both love pasta. Instead of Angel hair, we used the Smart Taste pasta by Ronzoni. It's actually healthier than the wheat pasta that we normally buy, and it tasted better too! David HATES the wheat pasta - it always seems dry and bland so until now, we've used the regular pasta that isn't healthy!

Anyways... here's the recipe:

POINTS® Value: 4
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 10 min
Cooking Time: 12 min

Ingredients
1 9oz package refrigerated angel hair pasta
1 teaspoon olive oil
Cooking spray
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp
1 (15.5 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (Warning: don't use too much! It really goes a long way!)

Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.

While pasta cooks, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add shrimp; cook 5 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring often. Add marinara sauce, lime juice, and red pepper; cook until thoroughly heated.

Serve over pasta. Yields about 3/4 cup shrimp mixture and 3/4 cup pasta per serving.
