The other day, I wanted to eat pesto pasta but was so lazy to go out so I just made one at home. Very easy and simple. Got the recipe an an egroup of mine. You may want to try.
Shrimp Pesto Pasta
INGREDIENTS
1 pound linguine pasta
1/2 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup pesto
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta, and
cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in cream, and season
with pepper. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly.
Stir Parmesan cheese into cream sauce, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Blend in
the pesto, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until thickened.
Stir in the shrimp, and cook until they turn pink, about 5 minutes. Serve over
the hot linguine.
And here’s the result.
Lighting was very bad in our dining area so I probably need to visit a light fixture store soon so I can atleast take good photos of the food I prepare at home.
