It belongs in my family's "favourite dish" hall of fame.

My daughter loves this dish so much that we simply call it: "Hailey's Pasta".

1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to cooking times on the package.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, sauté for 1 minute Add shrimp and spinach and sauté all together for 3 minutes or until shrimp is pink through.

3. Meanwhile, prepare Alfredo sauce according to package directions. When finished, stir in 2 tablespoons pesto; set aside.
