 pesto shrimp & pasta

i invented a recipe last night that came out surprisingly well.

while boiling some low-carb penne pasta in a pot, i sauteed in a skillet some shrimp in olive oil. when the shrimp was heated through, i added a few spoons of pesto sauce and bit of fat-free half and half. i also tossed in some green peas.

after the pasta was cooked and drained i added it to the skillet with the shrimp & sauce, tossed it around, and topped it with parmesean cheese.

yummy!

Sounds yummy. Do you make your own pesto, or is there a brand you'd recommend?

i have never tried to make my own pesto. i have a small jar of classico brand pesto in the fridge that i've been using for months and months.

Yum, indeed!

But as for the fat-free half and half, why not call that "half and none"?
