Pasta Weesie...

Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp in a garlic - lemon butter - white wine sauce topped with sautéed mushrooms and scallions...

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO:
I Pkg of Linguine
1/4 C Butter
1 C Heavy Cream
2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
1 T Fresh Parsley (minced)
1 1/2 C Fresh Parmesan Cheese (grated)

While linguine pasta is cooking...  Melt butter over medium heat, add cream.  Let simmer for 5 minutes.  Add garlic and parsley.  Cook for an additional 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and whisk in parmesan cheese.  Stir until well combined. (This was plenty thick, I added 1/2-3/4 Cup milk to thin it down after adding the cheese.)  Toss with pasta.

SHRIMP:
1 lb of Shrimp
1/4 C Butter
Juice of 1 Lemon
1/4 C White Wine
2 Cloves Garlic (minced)

Melt butter over medium heat, add shrimp - cook halfway through before adding lemon juice, white wine and garlic.  Continue to cook to reduce the liquid down to desired thickness.  Add to Fettuccine Alfredo.

MUSHROOMS:
1 C Mushrooms (chopped)
2 T Butter
2 T Sliced Scallions
1/2 C White Wine

Rough chop the mushrooms, saute in butter with scallions and white wine until desired doneness.  Top the Pasta and Shrimp.

(My favorite meal from Carrabba's Italian Grill... Or at least my imitation of it.  Served with delicious European bread and a Romaine/Parmesan/Kalamata Olive/Caesar Salad...  I fed 6 of us for a lot less than two of us could eat out.  But, we didn't GET to eat out... I don't have white wine on hand, so substitute White Grape Juice or Ginger Ale...  )
