Step 1

In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain the noodles from the pasta water. Lightly add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the hot pasta and set aside until ready.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick pan at medium heat, and add oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and fry until fragrant. 15-20 seconds. Add the shrimp and sauté until pink, 1 minute. Do not overcook the shrimp.

Step 3

Add the oyster sauce to the shrimp and stir well until the shrimp starts to curl up lightly. One minute only. Shrimp cooks fast, don't overcook, or they will taste rubbery.

Step 4

Add the tomatoes and bell peppers, and cook for 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 5

Add the flavorful pesto sauce and stir. Cook for 1 minute until the pesto coats everything in the pan well.

Step 6

Add the pasta and mix well. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add 1-2 tbsp of water if the noodles get too dry.

Step 7

Add the spinach, and basil, stir lightly, and cook for only 1 minute.

Step 8

Season the pasta with a pinch of salt and ground pepper. Add the pine nuts last and stir one last time. Turn the heat off and serve with parmesan cheese sprinkled over each serving plate. Enjoy!
