Penne Pasta

This is our Special Dinner.  It all started when he made it for me on our first anniversary.  Now we only have it for Special (aka. romantic) celebrations.  It's the shrimp splurge, I guess. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 13.25-oz box penne pasta
  • ½ lb shrimp
  • ¾ c chopped mushrooms
  • 4 pieces bacon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ c white grape or apple juice
  • ¾ c whipping cream
  • 3 chopped roma tomatoes
  • ¾ c chopped basil
  • ¾ c Parmesan cheese 
Directions:
  1. Cook pasta.
  2. Saute shrimp in olive oil, add mushrooms and saute a little longer, remove from pan.  Fry bacon.  Crumble bacon in pan.  Add garlic and juice and simmer 5 min.  Add cream, shrimp, and mushrooms and simmer 5 more min.
  3.  Drain cooked pasta.  Add tomatoes, basil, and parmesan cheese.  Pour sauce over all, mixing well.
