seafood pasta with pesto cream sauce

October 21, 2011 By Fareen Leave a Comment

It had been one of those days and we were all feeling a little blah.  Dinner needed to be something that would fill us and cheer us up at the same time.  Pasta came to mind as being the perfect comfort in a bowl.  Q was up for pasta, especially when he got to pick out what shape he wanted.  After much deliberating at the supermarket, he finally settled on the rotini.

I had a jar of pesto that my sister had brought back for me from Cinque Terre, a little town on the Italian Riviera.  I had been wanting to use it for a while and knew it would make the perfect sauce with some cream.  The addition of shrimp and fish along with some veggies made it a quick weekday meal which we devoured.  It was perfect with some french bread smothered in some boursin. 

Seafood Pasta with Pesto Cream Sauce

3/4 cup whipping cream
3 tsp pesto
3 cloves garlic
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 pound shrimp
1 filet basa
olive oil
salt
pepper

Saute shrimp, fish, garlic and tomatoes for 5 minutes.  Add cream and pesto and bring to a boil.  Turn down the heat and let simmer until cream thickens.  Season with salt and pepper.  Toss with your favorite pasta.
