Ideas for family dinners don't get much easier or more convenient than cooking dried pasta and pairing it with ready-made pasta sauce in a jar. Popular with kids, easy for toddlers to chew, and enjoyable for grown-ups, too, gluten-free pasta satisfies picky eaters who may not like the taste or texture of bean, lentil, nut, or pea-based pasta alternatives.

This scrumptious penne uses pantry staples and Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara made with avocado oil and organic tomatoes to create a creamy pink sauce that everyone will enjoy. We love the pasta paired with shrimp, but you could also serve this dish with seafood, chicken, pork, roasted veggies, or straight-up with a dusting of finely grated parmesan cheese.

This recipe uses pantry staples paired with jarred sauce to create a creamy, slightly sweet and savory pink sauce pasta. We love the pasta paired with shrimp, but you could also serve this dish with seafood, chicken, pork, roasted veggies, or straight-up with a dusting of finely grated parmesan cheese.

2 Tbsp. heavy cream or full-fat unsweetened coconut milk

Directions

Bring 4–6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tsp. salt, or to taste.
Add dried pasta to the water, stirring gently. Cook for 9 minutes for al dente pasta, and 10 minutes for softer pasta.
Meanwhile, cook the shrimp. Add avocado oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is warm, add shrimp. Cook until just starting to turn pink, about 2–3 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt, and remove from heat.
When cook time is complete, remove the pasta from the heat and drain. Add drained pasta back into pot, and place back on the burner. Pour entire jar of Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce along with the heavy cream or coconut milk into the pot, and stir. Heat for 1–2 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve.
Serve the penne with cooked shrimp, a bit of freshly cracked black pepper, and some chopped parsley.

Recipe Note

For a kid's plate: Skip the pepper and serve the penne with Tomato Basil Marinara and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
