Another one of my go to when I want something quick and last the whole day for everyone. Big news is I tried measuring everything this morning for this recipe and it wasn’t bad. Hope this helps with some of you who have to have the numbers. I will keep trying to do it for all future recipes, too.

You will need:

• 2 cups of mini penne
• 1 lb of ground beef
• 6-12 shrimp
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 medium onion
• 1/2 cup of grape tomatoes
• A handful of spinach
• 2 tsp of sugar
• Pinch of salt and black pepper
• 2 tbsp of oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp of ketchup (optional)

Make it:

See step by step pictures and descriptions below.

My kids love it more when I add ketchup to this pasta dish so if you have a ketchup lover too, you can add 2 tsp of ketchup to this recipe. I wouldn’t do more than that because then it will be too salty. But add to taste is best.

Tips:

• You can substitute spinach with basil and add flake or fresh pepper and it will instantly become pasta with basil sauce.
• Stop cooking at step 15, and you may have this recipe with angel hair or spaghetti (pour on top, add cheese) or enjoy it with steamed rice.
