Pasta Toss

Adam and I love pasta, but have been in a lul lately, it seems like we always have a red sauce with our pasta, and it's getting to be the same old same old. I found a recipe last week for a pasta toss. I followed that recipe as a lay out, but kind of made my own as we went. The original recipe is from Allrecipes.

Broccoli Shrimp and Mushroom Toss (From: My Recipe)

• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

Cook pasta according to package directions.

In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter and oil until tender.

Add broccoli and salt; cook and stir over medium-high heat for 8 minutes or until close to tender. Add mushrooms and cook until tender then add shrimp.
