There isn’t really much to say about this pasta recipe. Seriously, I can’t come up with anything else other than mmmmmmm. I mean it’s shrimp and it’s creamy. And it’s pasta. Put some basil in it and I will marry you. Did you hear me pasta?

You see, I didn’t use white wine to make the sauce. I didn’t use butter. I used cream cheese and milk and I feel good about it. I’m a simple person, who doesn’t know how to not overuse butter or make it work with white wine. We cool? I’m so not butchering anything Italian right now.

Also I used small (or maybe medium) shells here, but feel free to use any pasta you want. I did not overdo it with the shrimp, because I’m stingy. If you want to – add more shrimp. But it has a lot of cholesterol, just FIY.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8oz pasta
  • 3-4oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3-4 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 cup spinach
  • handful basil leaves
  • 1 small tomato, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook your pasta according to instructions on the package, don't forget to add some salt. Once done drain the fluid. I used small shells in this recipe.
  2. While your pasta is cooking prepare the rest of the ingredients - wash and chop the spinach, wash the shrimp, chop the basil leaves and tomato (if using fresh tomato), peel garlic.
  3. In a large pan, at medium high heat add 1 tbsp olive oil, shrimp, spinach and 1 garlic clove, stir together for 1-2 minutes. Add lemon juice.
  4. Add the milk and the cream cheese, stir until the cream cheese and the milk are combined. Let it all cook to thicken for 1 minute.
  5. Add in the cooked and drained pasta, stirring it in to cover with the sauce.
  6. Add the basil, tomato, 1 tbsp olive oil and the other garlic clove, stir in.
  7. Turn the heat off, top with the shredded mozzarella cheese and let it melt. Stir in, have a taste and add salt and pepper to taste. I did need to add a little more salt to this pasta than usually, but it may vary.
  8. Serve and optionally top with parmesan cheese.
