This is an excellent pasta dinner! Sauteing the mushrooms really brought out their flavor. I didn't have stewed italian tomatoes, so I used canned diced tomatoes and added 1 t italian seasoning. This is very good! Thanks, Dorothy! As usual, a great recipe!

Excellent recipe. Was better than most restaurants I have been to. Receipe serves 4 easily. I followed receipe exactly with the exception of green sweet pepper - only used 1/2 of the pepper.

My husband and I both gave this recipe 5 stars! We felt as though we were dining in an elegant Italian restaurant. The blend of flavors with the added shrimp was absolutely scrumptious. I served the meal with Italian garlic bread and tossed green salad. Delightful, Dorothy! Another winner!!
