Health benefits of Linguine with Shrimp and Creamy Roasted Tomatoes

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound linguine
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound large shrimp—shelled, deveined and halved lengthwise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 °. In a large ovenproof skillet, toss the tomatoes with the olive oil and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Roast the tomatoes for about 25 minutes, until starting to brown and their skins split.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the linguine until al dente; drain.
Add the cream to the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook over moderate heat, gently crushing the tomatoes, until the cream thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer over moderate heat until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the linguine to the skillet along with the lemon juice and toss over low heat until the pasta is coated, about 1 minute. Add the lemon zest and parsley and toss. Transfer the pasta to warm bowls and serve at once.
