I'm not a big fan of shrimp, so I used chicken instead. It was still very good.

This pasta is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms, and it was delicious.

This pasta was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would be better with some more herbs and spices.
