Smart Cooking Tips
- Use fresh or thawed shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
- Don’t overcook the shrimp; they should be just pink and firm when baked.
- For extra creaminess, stir in a little cream cheese or mascarpone before baking.

Why This Dish Is Amazing
Step 1
Lightly heat your oven to 350 degrees F. While it warms up, bring a big pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne until it’s just tender but still has a bit of a bite, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, warm some olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Toss in the shrimp, green pepper, and mushrooms, and sauté everything until the veggies are nice and soft, around 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once the pasta is done, drain it and transfer it to a large bowl. Stir in the Alfredo sauce, tomatoes, the Italian cheese blend, and a cup of Parmesan. Add the shrimp and veggie mix, then give it all a good stir. Next, mix in the pesto for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 4
Pour the whole mixture into a casserole dish. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the Parmesan with some breadcrumbs, then sprinkle that evenly over the top.
Step 5
Pop the casserole in the oven and bake until it’s hot and bubbly, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!
