Spaghetti With Peas, Zucchini Ribbons, and Garlic Shrimp

"This is a combination of 2 recipes from the April 2007 issue of Martha Stewart Living. Each can certainly stand on its own, but together, they are a fabulous meal. Add a salad, possibly some crusty garlicky bread, and dessert and it would be complete, company worthy meal that is actually very, very simple."

  1. I made the Spaghettti part of this recipe from a little tear out card from the magazine. I used regular and Thai basil from my garden and loved the play of flavors - also opted for Greek yogurt. Everyone enjoyed this and we would certainly have it again. In my opinion, this is an excellent week night supper on it own - no need for shrimp, salad or bread.
