Shrimp Alfredo Bake with a Cheesy Twist

Ingredients 0/11

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!
