ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND SNOW PEAS



Angel Hair Pasta With Shrimp and Snow Peas image

This is a lovely pasta dish with a creamy sauce. Shrimp and Snow peas complement each others flavors very well. Shortcut note: I keep pesto frozen in my freezer to make this. I put the veggies in a handheld strainer and poach them in the same pot as the pasta is cooking in.
