Last night I got home from work around 6:00 and dinner was ready by 6:20. I discovered a new recipe that literally takes fifteen minutes to make if you use prepared items. You can use whatever kind of pasta you prefer. I used angel hair. I cooked it in my Fasta Pasta device. It took seven minutes in the microwave.
I used prepared pesto from a jar. Next time, I think I'll pick up fresh prepared from Sam's Club.
Also, since we don't live on the coast, I used frozen, cooked shrimp that I thawed.
I had cut up my Romaine the day before, so the Caesar Salad took seconds to throw together. I apologize for not taking any pictures. I was starving and not thinking about a photo-op. My husband gave this recipe a two thumbs up.
