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.
