| 1. Preparing Penne:. | 2. In a large stockpot, add 4 quarts of water and 1 tbsp crushed red pepper and bring to a boil. | 3. Add the 16oz package of penne rigate and stir every 2-3 minutes, maintaining a rolling boil. After approximately 14 minutes (time may vary slightly depending on brand of pasta) drain pasta and rinse in cold water to keep the pasta from cooking further. | 4. Let pasta sit for 5 minutes after the rinse, and the starchiness will come back to the surface of the pasta, allowing the sauce to stick to each noodle. | 5. Red Pepper and Tomato Cream Sauce:. | 6. Dice red bell pepper and saute in a small skillet until it begins to soften. | 7. Add fresh sliced mushrooms and saute for an additional 3 minutes. | 8. Blanch chopped asparagus in a pan with 2 cups of water for 4 minutes, then drain. | 9. Season shrimp with creole seasoning and fry in a large skillet. | 10. Add alfredo sauces, shrimp, pepper-mushroom mixture, italian seasoning, tomato sauce, and asparagus to a sauce pan, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and add penne. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
