Ingredients

  • ¾ (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 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 (6 ounce) tubs sun-dried tomato pesto
  • ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 5
Transfer penne mixture to a casserole dish. Mix remaining Parmesan cheese with bread crumbs; sprinkle over the casserole.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

If using frozen shrimp, thaw and lightly pat dry before using.
