Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep Time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

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. (Cook Time: 8-10 minutes)

03

Step

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add shrimp, green pepper, and mushrooms; saute until vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. (Cook Time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

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. (Prep Time: 10 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer penne mixture to a casserole dish. Mix remaining Parmesan cheese with bread crumbs; sprinkle over the casserole. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. (Bake Time: 25-30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp and vegetable saute.
If you're short on time, use pre-cooked shrimp and store-bought pesto to speed up the process.
To prevent the pasta from sticking, toss it with a little olive oil after draining.
This dish is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
