What could be more prefect for a quick light dinner than a meal that comes together in 30 minutes and a family favorite?
I like quick recipes for family dinners that doesn’t have me running to the store for ingredients only used in one or two recipes.
This Easy Shrimp Fettuccine recipe is one of my favorites, not only does it have a lot of my favorite flavors it’s super easy.
It’s similar to the old classic shrimp fettuccine in marinara, using fresh garden tomatoes as the main sauce ingredient, for a fresh light Summer meal, that’s prefect any day of the week.
A few Tips When Making Easy Shrimp Fettuccine
When cooking the pasta for this Easy Shrimp Fettuccine salt the water before bringing the water to a boil. The water should be boiling rapidly before dropping the pasta.
I used Fettuccine , you can use any shape pasta or flavor pasta you like, and don’t forget to save the pasta water, an important step that’s easy to forget. It’s also easier if the pasta water pan is on the back burner and the saute pan on the front one.
I like this 8 quart stock pot for pasta and soups. Use a large enough saute pan so you don’t crowd the fish, if your sauteing the shrimp
In the restaurant we precooked our pasta halfway and ran it under cold water to stop the cooking process,
when we had an order we put the pasta in a strainer, dropped in boiling water, it taste like it was just cooked .
You can use the same process at home, if you cooked to much it stays fresh for 1 to 2 days.
The whole idea behind food and creating recipes is to experiment and have fun doing it…..!!!!!Happy day
