Pasta with Shrimp, Avocado and Olives
Sautéed Spinach

Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu      Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      I couldn't decide what kind of sauce to use for the pasta, so I just used lemon and oil... It was exactly right!  We'll use more fresh lemon tomorrow for the asparagus

Shrimp, Avocado and Olive Pasta

Total time: 25 minutes
     This is a simple pasta dish. Without a proper 'sauce' all of the individual tastes come through clearly, creating a symphony of well-balanced, fresh, savory flavors.

Shrimp, Avocado and Olive Pasta Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Sautéed Spinach 

Total time: 10 minutes
   This is quickly done and best if done at the last minute.  A sprinkling of lemon juice and sea salt is all that's needed to let the spinach shine.  The leaves should be barely wilted.
