ingredients
- 113.39-226.79 g fettuccine or 113.39-226.79 g linguine
- 147.89 ml butter, divided
- 226.79 g fresh sliced mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 85.04 g cream cheese, cut into small pieces
- 29.58 ml fresh parsley, chopped
- 14.79 ml fresh basil, chopped (you can use dried herbs if thatàs all you have)
- 157.80 ml boiling water (from your noodle pot)
- 453.59 g cooked shrimp
directions
- Boil and salt a large pot of water and cook your pasta.
- While your pasta is cooking, cook your shrimp if necessary and reserve. If your shrimp are pre-cooked and frozen, quickly thaw them under running water.
- In a large skillet melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat and saute mushrooms until soft and brown.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Reserve cooked mushrooms and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add minced garlic, cream cheese, and herbs.
- The cream cheese doesn’t really melt and starts to look almost curdled, don’t worry about it! It will all smooth out and be wonderful when we add the water. I promise.
- Simmer cream cheese mixture until well blended. Get a scoop of boiling pasta water from your noodle pot and mix it in, stirring quickly to smooth out the sauce.
- Keep sauce hot and add shrimp and mushrooms, mix well and simmer (stirring often) until everything is hot and thickened, about 10 minutes-you wont ruin this sauce by accidentally boiling it so don’t worry.
- Toss sauce with cooked noodles and serve.
