Shrimp. Tomato and Goat Cheese Pasta image

Ahtough this light dish is truly delicious "as is", you can vary it by adding leftover cooked broccoli or asparagus. Each week, I cook 8 ounces of pasta, drain and store it in a resealable plastic bag so I can fix this light lunch or supper in under 20 minutes, including peeling the shrimp. Vegetarians can substitute black beans for the shrimp. If you love olives, sprinkle a few sliced ones on top.
