Description
This delicious recipe is perfect for summertime and requires only a few simple ingredients. Penne pasta is cooked perfectly al dente, meanwhile fresh shrimp is seared to perfection with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pesto is added to the seared shrimp, while tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, lemon, basil, mint, and olive oil are combined with the remaining pesto and pasta for a warm, bright dish that works for every occasion…
Barilla’s Penne pasta is the perfect pasta choice for saucy dishes as the large diameter and ridges holds flavor beautifully. In Italian, Penne means “Pen” and was inspired by the quill of an old-style ink pen and gets its name from its unique shape.
