I unfortunately don't have the picture of the meal with the pasta however I do have a picture of the leftovers that I had the next day and it was just as good, just as fulling. I used Chicken Sausages but you can really use any sausages with this meal.

Comments

I got this from Money wise Mums. It's quick and easy and the pesto added a 'zing' to the recipe that I hadn't managed before. I made this dish without the Sour Cream, but to be honest I do prefer my soups to be a little bit creamy so I'm going to add this to my frozen portion when I decide to have it. However it is just as nice either way

Comments:

This started off with intentions of being Shrimp Scampi but I'm not entirely sure it ended up being Shrimp Scampi. However it's similar enough in my books to stick to being called Shrimp Scampi. Traditionally Shrimp Scampi is supposed to be served on top of Linguine however it was faster to cook the spirals than linguine also I think I might make a couple of tweaks to the recipe
