Blue Ribbon Recipe

This shrimp and spinach pasta is a wonderful summertime pasta dish. Juicy and tender, the garlic shrimp is cooked perfectly. They're tossed in a light and creamy tomato sauce filled with fresh basil, parsley, and spinach. It's very flavorful. Mixed with spaghetti, it's an impressive pasta dinner without a ton of work.
