SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO OVER SPINACH NOODLES

Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo over Spinach Noodles image

This was the only dish my father ever made, but it was so rich tasting, he fooled everyone into thinking he could cook! His trick was a bit of blue cheese in the alfredo sauce. I prefer shrimp in this dish, but chicken would work as well. If you opt for shrimp, use jumbo large shrimp so that they can stand-up against this thick sauce and spinach noodles. This dish is fairly simple with few ingredients... but make sure that your serving dishes, tools and ingredients are prepped beforehand in order to help with fast timing. Shrimp and fresh pasta are easy to over-cook (Or is that just me?).

MEDITERRANEAN FETTUCCINE WITH SHRIMP AND SPINACH

Mediterranean Fettuccine With Shrimp and Spinach image

I got this off the back of some store-brand fettucine noodles and gave it a try. Dh said to make sure I kept the recipe! It is very rich and I usually decrease the salt and dried basil to help that a bit, and I thinned it down just a bit with milk, but otherwise it's a fancy-looking dish with very little effort.

Tips:

Fresh is best: Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and firm, but not overcooked, or it will become tough.
Use a good quality fettuccine: The fettuccine is the base of the dish, so it's important to use a good quality pasta. Look for a pasta that is made with high-quality ingredients and has a good texture.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp and spinach, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and the spinach from wilting properly.
Season to taste: Be sure to season the dish to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Spinach shrimp fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
