Bowtie Shrimp in Tomato-Cream Sauce

This recipe is, honest to Phoebe, an original creation.  I made it to serve two people, but you can double or triple it if your family size is larger.  Serve with salad and garlic bread, and you'll have that Italian restaurant feel in the comfort of your own home.

Ingredients:
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 pound cooked shrimp, tails removed
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 teaspoon black pepper
6 ounces farfalle (bowtie) pasta
12 ounces spaghetti sauce
12 ounces vodka pasta sauce
shredded parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:
1.  Place pot of water on stove, heat to boiling.  When pot of water starts to boil, reduce heat to medium and cook pasta according to package directions.
2.  White the pasta water is heating, place olive oil, red pepper and garlic in a large pan, cook on medium heat until veggies are tender. 
3.  Stir wine into pan, heat until simmering. 
4.  Add shrimp to pan, sprinkle parsley and black pepper on top of them. Cook the shrimp a few minutes on each side. 
5.  Add spaghetti and vodka sauces to pan, stir well and turn off heat. 
6.  When pasta has cooked, drain and add to pan, stir until well combined.  Scoop into bowls and top with parmesan cheese, if desired.
