Penne pasta with spaghetti sauce , shrimp and veggies .

My first successful try at a pasta recipe. The first one was almost three years back and a fiasco. This one came out well . I should confess I ended up adding almost every thing I found in the recipes I surfed though. So I cannot say it is an authentic recipe. Anyway I am a strong believer of 'All's well that ends well ' !

Here you go
