Shrimp Penne with Creamy Rosa Pasta Sauce

I think I’m starting to get used to the cold weather at this point… we’ve had temperatures below 20 degrees for the better part of 3 weeks now so I think my body has just adjusted and it doesn’t knock the wind out of me as hard when I walk outside. But wow, does this crazy cold make it nice to come home to a warm, comforting meal. Is there any meal more comforting on a cold night than a big ‘ol pot of creamy pasta? Nope, there isn’t, not in my book anyway. This Shrimp Penne with Creamy Rosa Pasta Sauce fits the bill perfectly.

Let’s dig in a little deeper to those delectable layers of comfort, m’kay? (Before we dig into the Shrimp Penne with Creamy Rosa Pasta Sauce, that is). A creamy Rosa pasta sauce made by mixing Bertolli® Organic Creamy Alfredo Sauce and Bertolli® Organic Fire Roasted Garlic Marinara Sauce envelops this meal in creamy, delicious flavor with savory plump tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fire roasted garlic, aged Parmesan cheese, fresh cream and other supporting herbs and spices, all of which are USDA certified organic and non-GMO. In fact, their new Bertolli® Organic Creamy Alfredo Sauce  is one of the first nationally-branded organic Alfredo sauces! #todaystrivia

There may not be a long list of ingredients in this Shrimp Penne with Creamy Rosa Pasta Sauce, but that’s how they do it in Tuscany… few, high quality ingredients, lightly cooked to lock in flavors… it’s also the guiding principal for how Bertolli® creates all of their sauces. If it’s good enough for Tuscany and Bertolli®, it’s great for me! 😉

The only additional ingredients that I added to the pasta and sauce were some scorched tomatoes (for color and texture), spinach (for color and to get mah greens!) and of course the shrimp.

While this Shrimp Penne with Creamy Rosa Pasta Sauce certainly qualifies as a comfort meal, it is super easy and fast to make so it’s perfect to enjoy on a busy weeknight or for a date night at home. When the Rosa sauce is simmering on the stovetop, it smells like you just walked into your favorite Italian restaurant. Sooooo good, you guys!
