For some reason, I am so craving for pesto pasta right now. The recipe I used to follow is nowhere to be found so I’ll just look for one over the net. Here’s one I found at one of my yahoogroups which is almost the same as the one we usually make.

INGREDIENTS
1 pound linguine pasta
1/2 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup pesto
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta, and
cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in cream, and season
with pepper. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly.
Stir Parmesan cheese into cream sauce, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Blend in
the pesto, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until thickened.
Stir in the shrimp, and cook until they turn pink, about 5 minutes. Serve over
the hot linguine.

Its very easy right? will have this made this afternoon.

In the meantime, I have to look at some term life insurance quotes now.
