Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ¾ (16 ounce) package penne rigate

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 pound cooked medium shrimp with tails intact

  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper

  • 1 cup diced baby bella mushrooms

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce

  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend

  • 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • 2 (6 ounce) tubs sun-dried tomato pesto

  • ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add shrimp, green pepper, and mushrooms; saute until vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.

  4. Drain penne. Mix Alfredo sauce, tomatoes, Italian cheese blend, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Add shrimp mixture and mix thoroughly. Add pesto and mix again. Fold in penne.

  5. Transfer penne mixture to a casserole dish. Mix remaining Parmesan cheese with bread crumbs; sprinkle over the casserole.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

If using frozen shrimp, thaw and lightly pat dry before using.

Make your own sun-dried tomato pesto if preferred.
