For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp and vegetable saute. If you're short on time, use pre-cooked shrimp and store-bought pesto to speed up the process. To prevent the pasta from sticking, toss it with a little olive oil after draining. This dish is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
