Preparation
- Step 1
Bring salted water to a boil, add the noodles, stir and cook according to package instructions. The pasta should be al dente. Drain and reserve ¼ cup of cooking liquid.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the onions, zucchini, red peppers, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, over high heat until wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Step 3
Add the shrimp, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, olives and saffron. Cook and stir about 3 minutes longer over high heat.
- Step 4
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the drained noodles, the basil or coriander, the vinegar and, if needed, the reserved cooking liquid. Toss and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

What are saffron stems? Same as threads? Why doesn't Pierre say so?
Like a pasta primavera with shrimp. Very nice, not spectacular, I should have seasoned more aggressively. I used 9 oz of fresh fettucine noodles. This made a lot of food.
