A pot, a pan, and a plan: This meal comes together just like that, with maximum ease and minimum effort. Succulent shrimp and bright broccoli combine with pasta and a creamy, cheesy pesto sauce, building up to forkfuls of filling flavor. Little muss or fuss, fantastic taste, and only a handful of pans to clean? This is the weeknight meal of dreams.
