photo by:kraft

Fresh tomatoes and basil are available year-round. That's good news, because this creamy shrimp pasta shouldn’t be enjoyed only in summer.

My boyfriend and I loved this recipe! It was wonderful! I used dried basil instead of fresh and it tasted great! I will for sure make this again!

This is a great and easy recipe. I did add about 2tbs of milk to the sauce and used light cream cheese and dressing. It was so flavorful.

The sauce was way to sweet for my taste. It was so sweet:like i put a whole thing of sugar in it. I would not be making this again. It was a waste of my time and ingredients

I turned it into 4 servings and took the advice of another to add a little half & half. I also used lite dressing and cream cheese. The flavor was wonderful and, like others say, the Husband liked it too. I will definitely make this again and will highly recommend to a vegetarian friend of mine.

I actually just finished eating this. My husband loved it after we added some salt and fresh ground black pepper. The only thing that I didn't like about this recipe was it was lacking in moisture. Next time I will be adding more milk and possible some more of the salad dressing to the sauce. Other then that it was great!
