It was amazingly good. I heated olive oil and some oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes in a pan and added garlic and finely chopped fresh rosemary. I then added 2 TBS of thick pesto sauce and 6 chopped sun-dried tomatoes. I sauteed that for a few minutes and then added the raw frozen shrimp and toasted pine nuts. I was boiling penne pasta while making the sauce. While that was cooking I threw together a simple salad of rocket and watercress and some veggies. Then I added some cream to the sauce and grated some parmesan cheese over the top. Since the sauce was so fattening I used it very sparingly over the pasta so it wouldn't be too heavy. It was creamy, full of flavor, and it disappeared very quickly. My whole family loved the food and the big G' said the only problem was he didn't get enough :)

Shrimp Penne Pasta
I hadn't any plans for dinner and very few ingredients last night and so this is what I produced...
