linguine with shrimp, roasted tomatoes and spinach
sometimes i find recipes in random places — this one came from parenting magazine.  i made this in stages throughout the day — i think it would have turned out better had it been done all at once 🙂  it also needs some more flavor in my opinion — maybe more garlic?  some parmesan??  husband like it though – didnt have any complaints 🙂
