Goat Cheese-Pesto Pasta

• 1/2 packet Gluten free or rice pasta
• Handful Small shrimp
• 4 ounces Soft goat cheese
• 6 Mushrooms
• 3 Sun dried tomatoes
• Handful Pine nuts
• 1 pinch Red pepper flakes
• 1 Clove garlic
• Olive oil
• Salt & Pepper
• 4 sprigs Fresh basil

1. Boil salted water for the pasta. Set timer and monitor the pasta during the preparation of the sauce. Strain when finished, and drizzle with olive oil.
2. For the sauce: saute the garlic in olive oil. Add shrimp (or chicken, if you prefer), salting to taste. Add sliced mushrooms.
3. Add goat cheese, stirring gently until melted. Add water if needed to create more of a sauce (you can also use cream or milk, but I don't consume non-goat dairy).
4. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top of the sauce, then add sun dried tomatoes and pepper, if desired. Add basil last, mixing well before serving on top of pasta. Enjoy!
