Pasta with Shrimp and Mushrooms in Cream Sauce

The flavors in this dish are outstanding — you have to try it! My sister loves anything out of the ordinary in the kitchen; she's always cooking up something new and inviting me over to taste it. The other day she treated me to an Italian fettuccine with shrimp and mushrooms. It felt special, almost festive, to me. So today I decided to wow my own family with a little taste of Italy, and it turned out really well. Here's the recipe!

    1. Cook the fettuccine until tender, following the package directions.
    1. Boil the shrimp for 2–3 minutes, just until they turn pink, then lift them out onto a plate with a slotted spoon.
    1. Slice the mushrooms and sauté them in butter, then carefully remove them from the pan. Add the garlic to the butter left in the pan, cutting each clove into a couple of pieces first.
    1. Next, add the cream cheese to the buttery pan, followed by the finely chopped basil and parsley. Don't worry if the cheese doesn't melt right away — it will smooth out once you add the water.
    1. Now pour in the cream and a splash of the hot pasta water (I scooped it straight from the pot), stirring constantly with a spatula until the sauce is completely smooth and glossy.
    1. Return the mushrooms and shrimp to the cream sauce, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–6 minutes. Toss with the fettuccine, gently combining everything.
  • Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!
