Creamy Shrimp Pasta

  • 8 oz. fettuccini
  • 2 tsp. flour
  • 1/4 cup pasta water, reserved
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. coarse kosher salt
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 lb. raw shrimp, thawed, deveined, and peeled
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1 Tbsp. parsley, finely chopped

Cook pasta for 2 minutes less than the package directions; drain and do not rinse. In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Add the onion, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and wine; stir for 5 minutes. Add flour and stir for 2-3 minutes to make sure the flour is cooked. Add the whipping cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir for 5 minutes or until desired thickness. Add the pasta; toss until combined. Add the shrimp and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. (Don’t overcook the shrimp, it will become rubbery.) Add pasta water 2 tablespoons at a time until desired consistency. Transfer to serving dish and top with parsley. Serve immediately.

Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks

  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic 1 tsp. dried basil
  • 1 prepared refrigerated pizza crust
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Unroll the pizza crust onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter and garlic, stirring until fully integrated. With a pastry brush, evenly distribute the garlic butter mixture across the dough. Sprinkle half of the basil over the garlic butter. Evenly distribute the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese over the dough, covering the basil layer. Add the remaining dried basil and season with salt and pepper according to taste. With a pizza cutter, divide the dough into 12 equal breadsticks. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden. After baking, immediately re-slice along the pre-cut lines with the pizza cutter to ensure the breadsticks are separated cleanly. Serve immediately.
