Recipes for the Cooking Impaired: Shrimp Vegetable Pasta Thing
This is another in the series of "what the heck is in the fridge that I can make for dinner?" So with that in mind...
Shrimp Vegetable Pasta Thing (somebody please rename this?)
~2 Cups thawed large prawns (cooked, de-veined, de-tailed... I had a bag in the freezer)
16 oz jar of Roasted Garlic Alfredo sauce
2 Cups raw broccoli florets
2 Cups sliced raw carrots
1 Cup frozen peas
1/2 Cup chopped onion (I used Sweet Vidalia onion, but red would be nice, too)
16 oz package of dry pasta
Cook the pasta according to package directions. When ~5 minutes remain, add broccoli, carrots, peas and prawns. When pasta is done, drain in a large colander and return to pan. Add onion and sauce. Heat through.
I served this with salad and bread, with sorbet for dessert. 2 out of 3 kids thought it was the Best Thing *Ever*, and were still excited about it leftover for lunch the next day. It was also delicious cold, and had a pasta salad quality to it, very summery.
Servings: an army marches on its stomach (6+)
