This delicious comfort food recipe doesn't get much easier to make. You'll love the classic pesto sauce, which features lots of fresh basil, buttery pine nuts, crushed garlic, as well as a combination of chicken broth and olive oil that helps cut down on the fat. The shrimp is nicely seasoned and quickly pan-seared, so it's ready to go in just about 5 minutes. The starchy pasta cooking liquid that you throw in at the end helps all the flavors meld together and creates a nicely glossy sauce. We suggest using some fresh cherry tomatoes to give the dish some added heartiness and color, but the pesto and shrimp are delicious all on their own. The wide pappardelle ensures you get as much pesto-y goodness in every bite as possible, but you can use whatever long pasta you have on hand.
