Makes: 8 servings

Description: A traditional pesto sauce with shrimp and thin pasta with a kick of pepper, peas and asiago cheese.

Ingredients:
12 oz  Fresh Large Shrimp
1 Box  Barilla Angel Hair Pasta
2/3 Cup  Chicken Broth
2 Cups  Frozen Peas
1  Medium Yellow Sweet Pepper, Chopped
1 Jar  Barilla Traditional Basil Pesto Sauce
1/4 Tsp  Crushed Red Pepper
1/4 Cup  Asiago Cheese Shards (1 oz)

Cook pasta according to package directions; remove from heat and drain well.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet bring chicken broth to a simmer, stir in shrimp, peas, and yellow pepper and simmer until shrimp are opaque and pepper is tender (about 3 minutes). Add Barilla Traditional Basil Pesto; heat through. Add pasta; stir gently to combine.
