Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Pasta

Fettucine or Penne Pasta

Shrimp - I used 10 large shrimp for the two of us

1 tbsp. oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 tbsp. butter

1 garlic clove

1/3 cup white wine

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1/3 cup parmesan cheese

Salt & Pepper, to taste

Sprinkle of Paprika

Parsley or basil for garnish

Lightly season shrimp with salt, pepper and paprika.  Preheat large skillet to med/high and add 1 tbsp. oil.  Add shrimp and cook 1-2 minutes per side, do not overcook.  Remove shrimp to a bowl.

I started cooking the fettucine after the first step.  Drain when cooked, do not rinse.

In your same frying pan, over medium/high heat, add 2 tbsp. butter, cook onion, stir in garlic and cook together.  Stir in 1/3 cup white wine and reduce to 25%, scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan.

Stir in cream and simmer for 2 minutes.  Sprinkle the top with 1/3 cup parmesan and stir until creamy and smooth.  Add 1/4 tsp. paprika and season with salt and pepper.

Turn off heat and add cooked shrimp and pasta to the frying pan.  Garnish with parsley or basil.

This is a definite winner, I've pinned it for future use!

Linguine with Clam Sauce

If you're looking for a tasty and easy meal - give this Linguine with Clam Sauce a try - it's one of our regulars meals - I cook enough pasta for two - usually I use  whole wheat but I only had the Catelli Smart kind - fake whole wheat, I call it - they call it - white pasta with the fibre benefit of whole wheat.

Cook linguine or spaghetti.  Meanwhile, in skillet, heat 2 tbsp. butter; cook 1 chopped small onion and 2 minced garlic cloves until softened but not browned.  Stir in 1/4 cup white wine and the liquid drained from a can of baby clams; cook until reduced by half.  Add drained clams, some parsley and black pepper to taste, cook for 1 minute more.  Toss with hot, drained pasta.
