If you're a pasta lover then you're sure to love this recipe!! When I first got my hands on it
I would cook it just about every week! It is really simple and simply delicious! Just as good (or better) as the restaurants and definitely economical.
Ingredients:
Shrimp (wal*mart sells their 40/60 bag for $5-that's enough for my family of 5 and leaves some leftovers)
1 pckg of Fettuccine
1 medium carton of Hvy Whipping Cream
1 bag of Parmesan Cheese
1 pckg of Mushrooms
1 bag of Spinach
1 tomato (optional)
Garlic powder or Minced Garlic
pinch of Parsley
Black Pepper
Creole Seasoning to taste (optional)
Butter
EVO
FIRST, cook FETUCCINE according to package directions, put aside and drizzle with EVO (extra virgin olive oil).
Prep your mushrooms, shrimp, spinach by cutting what you need to. (Tomato is optional and its to garnish it at the end, dice.)
SAUCE:
(OOops out of order--sorry--this is when you saute' the mushrooms)
You saute' them with butter and garlic, according to taste.
Add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce making sure it's not boiling, just hot. Make sure you stir it and let the parmesan melt without it sticking to the pan.
Here you add the parsley and black pepper according to your taste.
Once you're through go ahead and put aside or keep on low warm (making sure you stir everynow and then). The longer you cook it the thicker it will get so it's a matter of taste.
...and season to your liking...you can leave it as is with butter and garlic but I really enjoy the creole seasoning.
Stir.
I didn't take photos of the fettuccine but once your sauce and shrimp are done, you can either serve the fettuccine and layer it with shrimp and sauce or I prefer to place the fettuccine in the pan I cooked it in and pour the sauce. That way it saturates better and unsticks the fettuccine, stir and then serve.
SERVE, top with diced tomato and fresh parmesan.
I don't know how this went for my first Recipe but let me know if you have any questions or feel free to comment on how you make yours.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do and don't fret too much over how fattening it must be...hahaha...it's well worth it!!
