Shrimp and Mushroom Linguini With Creamy Cheese Herb Sauce
I love nothing better than shrimp, mushrooms and pasta bathed a rich inviting, flavorful sauce. But, if you prefer chicken, sub it for the shrimp, or substitute any vegetable you like for the mushrooms. This recipe is quite versatile and will lend itself to your imagination. The sauce is rich and full of flavor. I think you are going to love it : ) I found this on All Recipes.
