Simple Skillet Pasta & Shrimp

I know Sunday is supposed to be the day of rest, but it somehow always ends up being the busiest day of the week for me. Between the Zumba class I teach in the morning, the dog park with my pup Grover, and all the procrastinated errands leftover from the week, I find myself running around all day. When I get home, all I want is something quick and simple for dinner. Tonight I threw together a meal using the remnants of my refrigerator and pantry: bowtie pasta, shrimp, artichokes, capers, parmesan cheese, and fresh mozzarella cheese, in a brown butter lemon wine sauce. It was so good I ate it all myself, but it's enough for two! Enjoy :)
