Cilantro Pesto Shrimp Pasta


After we made the Shrimp Tostada Bites, we had quite a bit of leftover pesto and shrimp. We were trying to figure out what to do with it and decided to make a pasta.

Ingredients:

1 12oz. bag pasta (we used rigatoni)
3 Tbsp. Chipotle Cilantro Pesto
1/2 cup shrimp, chopped and cooked (you could also use chicken)
fresh tomato, chopped
red onion, chopped
avocado, chopped
shredded parmesan cheese
toasted pumpkin seeds (optional)

Directions:

Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and stir pesto into hot pasta. Add shrimp. Portion pasta onto plates, and top with tomato, onion, avocado, cheese, and pumpkin seeds.
