Shrimp with Roasted Peppers and Spinach

 Garlicky shrimp, buschetta topping, and spinach 
tossed with pasta is delicious and ready in 
the time it takes to boil the pasta.
This recipe uses ingredients I usually have on 
hand for that 'what's for dinner tonight?' 
moment. Especially if you don't want to go out.
I always keep a bag of shrimp in the freezer
 for quick dinners like this one. 
Extra fast when you use a jar of bruschetta topping.
 Mince the garlic and saute in oil for 2 minutes. 
Measure out the remaining ingredients 
so that you can quickly add as needed:
a cup with all the seasonings, 1/2C bruschetta,
 1/2C broth, 1/2C cheese, 3T butter.
 Add the shrimp, peppers, salt, pepper, red pepper 
flakes and saute for 1 minute, then stir in the broth
 and cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are 
just turning opaque. Don't overcook at this point.
 Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheese, then
 Stir in the spinach, pasta and butter.
Toss until the spinach wilts and the 
butter and cheese melt.
A delicious dinner in under 20 minutes.

  7. I am so hungry for a good pasta dish and this looks like it could fill the bill. I have all the ingredients except the shrimp on hand, but a trip to the market tomorrow will change that.
