- 1 (12-16 oz.) Tri-Color Rotini Whole Wheat Pasta, boiled and drained
- 3-4 T. pesto
- 1 (9-oz.) bag of fresh baby spinach
- Fresh grated parmesan cheese
- Salt, black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In large skillet, drizzle some olive oil. Heat on medium heat.
- Add onion, bell peppers and shrimp and sauté until shrimp are done.
- Add mushrooms and cook another 2 minutes.

- Boil pasta in salted water with some olive oil added (about 2 T.) Drain. Always hold back 1-2 c. of the pasta water (may or may not use it.)
- Add pasta to the shrimp mixture.
