Categories     Pasta

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 14

300 grams fresh fettuccine pasta
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb. shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed (about 20-25 pieces)
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 (8 oz) package cream cheese (1 cup)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon salt flakes (to taste)
1/3 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, chopped (optional for the pasta bake)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium high heat. Add fettuccine and 1 teaspoon salt into the boiling water to cook according to package instructions until al dente (in other words, firm to the bite). Fresh fettuccine takes a shorter time to cook thoroughly, about 3 minutes.
  • Drain the fettuccine in a colander to be added into the skillet directly without rinsing.
  • Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes until oil starts to sizzle and shimmer. Add shrimp and cook until they turn orange, stirring frequently, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, onions and parsley and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and onions are soft and translucent.
  • Add melted butter, cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. Stir well and cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture forms into a uniform texture. Stir in Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Stir well for 1 more minute to combine all ingredients. You will notice the mixture start to thicken a bit. (You can used also store-bought alfredo sauce instead and simply add in the sauce at this stage instead of the ingredients added in this step).
  • Turn off the heat and leave the sauce mixture in the skillet. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss well to combine. Sprinkle salt flakes on top to taste. If you are not doing the pasta bake, you can serve the pasta immediately at this point.
  • For the pasta bake, add pieces of fresh mozzarella evenly on top of fettuccine. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese melts and browns. Keep a close eye on the pasta because things can happen very quickly in the broiler.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp has a more vibrant flavor and a better texture than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp can be tough and chewy. To avoid this, cook the shrimp until it is just opaque and pink in the center. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your dish. For this recipe, we recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente pasta is the perfect texture for this dish. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The cheese sauce will start to thicken as it cools, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

This shrimp and velveeta cheesy fettuccine bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
