Super quick and easy! This was yummy and not overly sauced. Fresh and light with colorful vegetables and shrimp. Love the combo of pesto and shrimp. Serve with a green salad and crusty bread.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup frozen sweet peas
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped yellow onion
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup chopped yellow bell pepper
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 (7 ounce) container basil pesto
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Bring 12 cups of salted water to a boil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add pasta and cook for 12 minutes, adding shrimp and peas to water during final 2 minutes of cook time. Drain pasta mixture, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water in a glass measuring cup. Return pasta mixture to pot.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring often, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Add onion mixture, pesto, salt, and pepper to the pasta mixture; stir to combine. Cook over low heat, stirring in reserved cooking water as needed, 1/4 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached and mixture is heated through. Serve immediately sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
