Simple Recipes - Pasta with Shrimp in Alfredo Sauce

Ingredients

1 lb elbow pasta
1 jar Bertolli Alfredo sauce
1 lb shrimp, cooked
2-3 small yellow squash, peeled and cut in rounds
1 onion, finely chopped or crushed in a food processor
2-3 small sweet peppers finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes crushed in a food processor
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt, pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper (optional)

Method

Cook pasta according to instructions on the box. We like to add a little salt and olive oil to the boiling water just before adding pasta. Do not overcook; the best way to judge if the pasta is cooked is to taste it. Drain into a colander and shake well to remove all excess water. Mix with Alfredo sauce in a large pan and set aside.

Saute onions and garlic in olive oil in a large saucepan over low-medium heat until brown. Add crushed tomatoes and saute more for 1-2 minutes. Add peppers, shrimp, squash. Add salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and mix well. Cook for another 4-5 minutes.

Add cooked pasta with Alfredo sauce to the shrimp mix. Keep on medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley.
