Seafood Penne

Ok, it's a big date night and you decided to invite your date over for dinner but the problem is you have not put any thought into what to make...and now it's 3 hours before the date starts. Never fear this recipe for Seafood Penne should set things off nicely..

Seafood Penne

  1. 1lb of Pasta (about 1 box)
  2. 3/4 cup of Pesto Sauce
  3. 2-3 Cups of Spinach (Washed and Rough Chopped)
  4. 2 Plum Tomatoes- chopped
  5. 2 Cups of Precooked Shrimp
  6. Handful of walnuts
  7. Handful of Gorgonzola Cheese

To start, boil the pasta until it is al dente. Once done, drain the pasta out, wash off the excess starch with hot water, and put back into the pot (after the water has been removed). Add the chopped spinach, toss and cover to let the spinach wilt. After 3-5 minutes, add the pesto sauce, precooked shrimp and chopped tomatoes and toss everything together. Before serving, sprinkle a handful of walnuts and a handful of Gorgonzola cheese for presentation. You can go more or less on these two ingredients depending on your taste.

* For an added flair, serve this pasta dish with a nice white wine such as Pinot Grigio.
