Pesto Shrimp Linguine

So my parents admit to me being only partially Italian but I totally deny that due to my love of pasta and naturally tan skin. Mostly the pasta part though... I enjoy nothing more than a good plate of carbs for dinner so why not post my favorite recipe? It's super simple and oh so delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 package of uncooked Linguine pasta
• 1 lb. Shrimp (cooked or uncooked)
• 1/2 Cup Pesto sauce
• 1 tsp. Basil
• 1/2 Pepper

Steps: 

1. Depending on whether you have cooked shrimp or uncooked shrimp, this will be your first step. I usually use pre-cooked shrimp and then just heat it up in a pan because it's easier but some people have a preference. If your shrimp is uncooked, then cook it first before you boil the pasta. Place shrimp in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. It just depends on how big the shrimp is.
2. Fill a large pot halfway with water and boil. (I always add a tsp. of oil and salt to my water)
3. Once the water is at a boil, add pasta. It'll take at least 10 minutes to boil because of the thickness but I would just follow the instructions on the box. 
4. While cooking pasta, if you have already cooked shrimp, place in a pan on a medium temperature for about 3 minutes to heat up. Sprinkle Basil on the shrimp.
5. Drain pasta, then place back in the large pot. Add the shrimp on top. It is very important that you do not heat up the Pesto before adding to the Shrimp and Pasta because it'll warm up once you add to the pot. It can also separate the ingredients in the sauce.
6. Season with Pepper and Serve!!
