Confetti Pasta

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but it is a favorite.  I change the meat up from Italian sausage, keilbasa,  shrimp, chicken, just whatever I have available.







Confetti Pasta

16 oz linguine
1 cup red pepper; chopped
1 cup green pepper; chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup olive oil
2 lbs shrimp
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Cook linguine.  Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, saute the peppers, and seasonings in oil until vegetables are tender.

Add the shrimp; cook and stir 2-3 minutes longer or until heated through.  Drain linguine; toss with shrimp mixture.  Sprinkle with cheese.

I am off this week.  It is sunny today and I hope it stays this way.  If so, I plan to spend some time outside.  Hopefully spring is here.

So on to the menu for the week,  I still have some repeats on here.  Hopefully I will get time this week to make some of them.
