01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, bring a big pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 2
While the pasta cooks, warm some olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Toss in the shrimp, green pepper, and mushrooms, and sauté everything until the veggies are nice and soft, which should take around 10 minutes.

Step 3
Once the pasta is done, drain it well and transfer it to a large bowl. Stir in the Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian cheese blend, and a cup of Parmesan. Add the shrimp and veggie mix, stirring to combine, then mix in the pesto.

Step 4
Pour the whole mixture into a casserole dish. In a small bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan with some breadcrumbs, then sprinkle this over the top for a crunchy finish.

Step 5
Pop the casserole in the oven and bake until it’s bubbly and golden on top, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
