This is a sponsored recipe written by Leyna Doan for Smart & Final.

Both my husband and I come from large families. Our family meals are always important, because it brings us all together no matter how busy and hectic our schedules are. Now that I have my own household to run, I want us to continue that tradition. Sometimes dinners are the only times we see each other. In honor of Family Meal Month in September, I’d like to share my simple and hearty Garlic Shrimp and Cheese Tortillini Recipe brought to you by SMART & FINAL. I love shopping at Smart & Final because they have everything. When cooking for my family, I always have to buy things in bulk because I’m cooking for six. Sometimes I can freeze what I don’t use. They always have a great selection of ingredients with great prices!

Thank you, Smart & Final, for sponsoring this post for Family Meal Month! Now that I have a family of my own, our meals together are still important to me. I try to make meals that not only taste great, but are healthy for us. With a large family, it is hard to appease everyone so I try to make dishes that most everyone will enjoy. This recipe is fresh, delicious, and very easy to do! For my daughter who is a picky eater, I set aside some cooked pasta for her and tossed it in some butter and Parmesan. For the rest of the family, they enjoyed it with a nice glass of crispy white wine. It’s the perfect summer gourmet family meal!
