Pasta & carbonara sauce with pesto

Hello everyone,

How is it going? How is everyone doing? I hope we are all taking it a day at a time and not over stressing. These days especially now I am writing my dissertation, I just have a positive attitude, take it one day at a time and I don't stress at all and that has really worked because I am getting more work done than I thought I would. Anyway, I wanted to share a quick, simple lunch idea with you guys today. Yes! it is pasta again...sue me...lol..I love pasta so I always find a way to make it different each time I have it.

Ingredients:

• Whole wheat pasta;
• Mushrooms - 3 pieces;
• Bell peppers - half;
• Shrimp - 6 pieces (depends on how much you love them);
• Carbonara sauce it is the same thing as alfredo sauce;
• Pesto sauce;
• Olive oil;
• Thyme, maggi, salt to taste

Method:

• Place pasta in hot boiling water and leave to boil until soft;
• In a clean fry pan, add one teaspoon of olive oil and leave to heat a little bit;
• Once heated, add mushrooms, shrimps, peppers and spices; stir fry until veggies are nice and tender;
• Add 2 teaspoons of pesto sauce and also 2 table spoons of carbonara sauce;

• Mix together and add some water to mixture until slightly watery;

• Add more salt as desired and leave for mixture to cook for about 5 - 10 mins;
• Pasta should be done at this time so drain excess water and toss pasta into mixture and leave to cook for about 5 mins and; 

• You have this! My housemate couldn't get enough of it and she kept complimenting on how good it turned out...hehehe

Sorry about my poor picture skills, but it is a very tasty and healthy dish. Please let me know if anyone tries this at home. Thank you to my new and old readers, thank you for the encouragement and kind words, I appreciate every one of you!
