Garlic Shrimp Alfredo

This is one of my favorite, easy dishes.

Ingredients:
A jar of Alfredo sauce that you like (I like Ragu's Alfredo sauces)
Some Pesto sauce (my favorite is Classico's Pesto sauce)
A box of frozen shrimp scampi
Pasta (I prefer Barilla's Mostaccioli noodles for this)
*Tony Chachere's Seasoning (optional)
*Milk (optional)
*Salt (optional)

Directions: (Parts A and B can be done simultaneously)

Part A:
1. Cook pasta as normal.  (Boil water, add salt if you wish, it helps the noodles not stick as much as well as adds flavor)
2. Drain the pasta. Rinse with cool water.

Part B:
1. Once the pasta is in you can start the sauce in a frying pan.  Cook the box of shrimp scampi you bought as directed on the box/bag.
2. Once it is cooked add in the Alfredo Sauce and 1-2 spoonfuls of Pesto sauce.
3. If you want to make the Alfredo Sauce spread a little bit more- add a little milk to the empty jar of Alfredo sauce, shake it and empty into the frying pan with the rest of the sauce.  Add Tony's if you wish (it adds a little more spice.  It is sometimes considered spicy to some but even some of my siblings who hate spicy foods don't notice it when I sneak a little in- the Alfredo sauce cools it down or something)
4.  Mix all of it together til the sauce is warm.

Last Part:
Put the pasta back in the pot and pour the sauce over it and mix it all together.
