Hello everyone! I have partnered with Washingtonian Magazine for Home For The Holidays campaign with Stella Artois and created a simple pasta dish with a festive salad video. It was so much fun working with the professionals from Washingtonian Magazine and I hope you find these recipes convenient and useful, especially when you want to drop off a hot meal to a family member or neighbor.

SHRIMP PASTA WITH VODKA SAUCE
1. Bring water to a boil in a 4 quart pot, add a pinch of salt or drop of oil to keep from the pasta from sticking. Add half a box (12 oz) of bow tie and half a box (16 oz) of big macaroni elbow pasta. Let the pasta boil for 10-12 minutes or less if you prefer al dente. Pasta can be any brand of your choice, for the portions I use 12 ounces for 4 servings.
2. Boil 16-20 medium size uncooked deveined frozen shrimp in a pot for 5-7 mins. I use 4-5 shrimp per serving, you can adjust this to your liking.
3. Pour 1/2 bottle of vodka sauce into a sauce pan and bring to a low simmer. My favorite brand is by Delallo from Wegmans and I use ½ a jar for four servings.
Ingredients list:
One 16 ounce box Bow Tie pasta
One 16 ounce box Big Elbow macaroni
One Jar Delallo Foods Vodka Sauce
One Bag Medium Frozen deveined Shrimp 24 count
For 4 servings you will use ½ of each box of pasta, ½ jar of Vodka Sauce and most of the shrimp
MIXED GREENS SALAD
1. Purchase any brand of mixed greens salad.
2. Take 1 serving of the mixed greens salad and stir in a handful of Ocean Spray dried cranberries, blueberries and a mini pint of Briannas salad dressing in Rich Poppy Seed. Mix well.
Ingredients list:
One 16 ounce springs mixed salad
One 5 ounce Ocean Spray dried cranberries
One 11 ounce blueberries fruit
