Description

This quick and easy penne shrimp Alfredo bakes up with cheese, sun-dried tomato pesto, and vegetables.

Ingredients

3/4 (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 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 (6 ounce) tubs sun-dried tomato pesto
1/2 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.
