Ingredients

1 lb. farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 t. olive oil
1 bulb fennel, diced small
2 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz. rock shrimp
1 C. white wine
1 C. fresh or frozen peas
3 C. pea tendrils
2 T. mascarpone cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh tarragon leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving a little pasta cooking water. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil. Sauté fennel, shallots and garlic until tender. Add the shrimp, and cook 2-3 minutes.

Add the white wine, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the peas and pea tendrils and mascarpone. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add the pasta and toss thoroughly. You may need to adjust the sauce consistency by adding a little of the pasta cooking water. Garnish with fresh tarragon leaves.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
