Yesterday was the beginning of our two week testing period, which equals stress, stress, and more stress! Which also means making simple, easy and QUICK meals so I can get off my feet faster and relax.
Need a quick weeknight meal? Pin it to save!
Pasta is always a quick go-to for me. It requires minimal thinking and you can pretty much through any meat or veggie with it and your home free. Tonight I’m sharing my mix up of shrimp, tomato basil pasta sauce and penne noodles.

Hi Alexis
I'm joining your party today, thank you for it!
Your pasta looks great, but unfortunately I can't eat it. I'm a vegetarian (and actually we're not allowed to eat seafood – religiously)
Hi Winnie! Welcome!! š You can easily adapt this recipe based on your eating needs, I would totally throw some veggies into the mix and you would be good to go. š
