Title: 15 Minute Garlic Shrimp Pesto Pasta
Post by: hikerman on January 01, 2017, 08:29:20 PM
I freeze pesto sauce in ice cube trays and pull what I need for a quick meal. Since our plans changed we needed a fast meal this evening. The fettucine takes 10 minutes,  the evoo and garlic was sauteeing. The al dente pasta drained and put back in pan. The two thawed cubes of pesto added to pasta over low heat until heated through. Done!
Plate the pasta, top with shrimp, and finally drizzle the garlic oil over all.
Mangia! 8)

Pam when I harvest my basil,  before it gets too cold, I make pesto and we usually have a meal with it fresh then I freeze remainder in ice cube trays. Afterwards place in zip bags or vac bag in portions.                            3 cubes/lb pasta is plenty. I do make the big batch with a bit less evoo than normal, but I always freshen it up (frozen) with evoo before heating.
