directions

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions, omitting any oil and salt. Drain and keep warm.
  • While the pasta is cooking, in a large pan coated with nonstick cooking spray, saute the canadian bacon, shrimp and onion powder over medium heat until the shrimp begins to turn pink, about 4 minutes.
  • While the shrimp is cooking, melt the margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and gradually stir in the chicken broth to make a white sauce. Cook until thickened and set aside.
  • If the shrimp has formed a lot of liquid, drain.
  • To the shrimp, add the wine if using, and cook 1 minute. Add the red pepper flakes, basil, garlic, rosemary, and the white sauce; cook 5 minutes until thickened.
  • Toss with the cooked pasta.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have one lil' girl who is 5 and another on the way (due in December). My hubby and I are pretty into fitness (weight lifting, rock climbing, etc). So as you will notice, I've got quite a few "protein" recipes. I love to bake. Cooking is okay but my real joy is baked goods (i.e., breads, pastas, cakes, cookies, etc). Not so conducive to the healthy lifestyle. But I like to say everything in moderation!!!
